Giannakis grows up with his grandfather, Kostantis the Manjipa, in Skala, the once ancient Kitio of Cyprus. The Cypriots, the Syps as the English call them, according to Lawrence Darrell, are impoverished, poor and uneducated. The possibilities for dreams are limited, but who can live without dreams? Constantis' dream is for his grandson to learn letters. But he is an unruly and unruly child. He wants the sea, hunting in the salt flats, love, his accordion. Until the 55-59 game starts and all of that falls by the wayside. For Giannakis, as for all young people of the time, the race is full of beautiful, bright ideas, which feed his soul and dreams. His involvement in the fight, a test for his human endurance and for his beautiful ideas. Everything is tested and everything takes on another dimension. It's not the nice ideas, it's that you bond with others for the nice ideas, he says as he unfolds his narrative, in old age.
