Two families, two different historical periods, a common fate. When Hassan and his decimated family were forced to leave their homeland of Syria, none of them imagined that what they would encounter along the way would change the lives of many people. Following in the historical footsteps of the Ambatzoglou family, who lived in Izmir and experienced the persecution of 1922, with the surviving members still counting their wounds, the Syrian refugees "tell" a newer story of uprooting. A struggle for survival and an effort for a dignified life.
Smyrna, Piraeus, Athens, Thessaloniki.
Syria, Turkey, Lesvos, Athens, Idomeni, Skopje, Munich.
Two families will find themselves on the road with a difference of ninety years, with their decisions, however, judging the lives of both themselves and the people around them.
Fate and the past will unite the uprooted with an unexpected "kinship", while their paths will cross in front of a historical work of Art: Delacroix's painting depicting the destruction of Chios.
Maria Dauti -
A wonderful book. The reader identifies with the heroes. He lives what they live.
