Chicago, summer evening, 1973: Myrsini has to explain to her husband, Frank, the history of the landmark year of 1952, when the CIA team arrived in Greece to hunt against the "communist danger". What did her family have to do with all this? Why did three brotherly friends, Andrea's father, Antonis and Stathis end up being enemies and why were they targeted by the CIA? What did her beloved aunt, Chrysanthi, and her great love, Max, have to do with all this? And how did all of this affect Frank's relationship with her and her family?

In one night, Myrsini recounts everything that marked her and her marriage. A story about love and power, good and evil, just and unjust. For the "small" stories that are hidden behind the great History. For the "Memories of a Battle of Wild and Tame", as she kept them within herself.
