Sofia Papastergiadis

Sofia Papastergiadis is a woman in her mid-20s who is caring for her mother Rose. She works as a waitress in England and has dropped out of her doctoral studies program in anthropology. She is single and feels like she is a failure.

Sofia travels to Spain so that Rose can finally get a diagnosis. Sofia puts up with her mother's comments about her weight and how she has not done anything with her life. She cannot seem to get things right for her mother, including a task as simple as getting her water.

Sofia begins sexual relationships with both Juan, a student who works at the observation hut on the beach, and Ingrid, a woman from Berlin. She is instructed by Dr. Gomez to take more chances. She steals a fish and sets Pablo's dog free.
