Dillara Cantrelle, 23, lead. A dishwasher who has lost her sense of purpose in life and lives a routine life. When she receives her grandfather's final letter requesting that she finish their song, she is forced to face her resentment for music. She is quiet, guarded and raw underneath. Mostly a non-verbal performance (lines are all sung), with a strong emotional range and stillness. Singing and basic guitar ability required.

Dillara Cantrelle as a ten-year-old girl in the warm flashbacks/memories. She is playful, musical and adores her grandfather, Gusar, as her biggest inspiration. She learns the guitar from him, walks in the park with him, sits in her bedroom with him, exchanging necklaces, and cries at him leaving her to travel the world. Needs a naturally expressive child actor, comfortable with singing 1 line of a simple chorus. Guitar basics and singing are assets.

Dillara's grandfather who appears the flashbacks Dillara has of her childhood. Playful, tender, charismatic, pirate-like. Gusar teaches ten-year-old Dillara the guitar, walks with her in the park pointing at the birds, sits with her in her room with her, leaves her a letter with a feather. Sings one simple chorus with her. Needs warmth, humor and natural way with a child actor. Singing is an asset.

Gusar (voiceover). The narrator of the film. Dillara's dying grandfather writes to her from Santorini. His letter is heard in voiceover across the present-day story. Warm, reflective, heartbreaking and funny. Needs a raspy and deep older male voice that can carry grief and playfulness at the same time. Voice-recording only, no on-camera work.
