The film, the first of a “Trilogy”, follows the fate of Hellenism as transcribed by the relationship of two people who meet for the first time as children in 1919, as the Greeks are fleeing from Odessa. They lose touch and meet again at different times, in different parts of the world, witnessing the big historical moments of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
The film begins with the entry of the Red Army in Odessa and the flight of the Greek community and ends in 1949, with the end of the Greek Civil War.
