Shortly after the occupation, Stefanos Dalis says to his beloved:
"My generation, Thalia, is full of fanatical ideologues and imaginary utopians, who think they can change the world in one day. On the one hand it is greatness, on the other tragedy. And it is strange that unhappiness and hatred fascinate people more than happiness and love. This is how wars, massacres and disasters happen. And then things happen that are impossible to imagine, but you accept them because they just happen..."
The central hero, Idomeneas, from Bound in his homeland becomes Lyomenos in New York, where the story unfolds in the 80s. Fueled by the passion of acquiring wealth, he tries to climb the slippery rock of the American dream that crushes most. But when he meets the wise Star Matako, everything turns upside down and changes, there on Fifth Avenue, in the melting pot of the world, where he sees wonders and things. What did he see and how did everything finally change?
The author presents a rare insight into human life, which is a rite of passage that oscillates from plus infinity to minus infinity, with tragedies caused primarily by people's disrespect and blasphemy towards the Gods and the laws of nature. But then Nemesis comes and they are punished without pity or mercy, while sometimes intelligence not only cannot prevent tragedies, but often causes them.
