Thrace-Thessaly. Two regions, two worlds, two families, trying to survive in adverse conditions. One under the Turk's bow and the other under the boot of the homesteaders. Two multi-member families struggle in the darkness of the wars, the Balkan and the First World War, which lasted about 20 years.
And then;
Then came the disaster. For the Thracians with the uprooting and the refugees, and for the Thessalians with the internal political strife and the flight to a new world, which promised a lot...
The family of Iraklis Dimitriadis comes to Thessaloniki and in a few years Iraklis leaves after a second disaster. The Tsoga family saw their older son, Giorgos, leave for America and the younger, Christos, leave due to a wrong medical opinion in his forties.
But fate also plays beautiful games. The young son of Christos Tsogas, Eratosthenis, met in Pravi of Kavala in 1938 with the youngest daughter of Heraklis Dimitriadis, Veta, and they married in 1940 in Thessaloniki.
German occupation, hunger, poverty and again stone years. In 1941 their daughter Constantia was born and in 1943 their son Christos, who grew up in the worst conditions of the second world war and then the civil war. In a Greece that tries to close its wounds by scratching them, Christos tries to find his footing in the school classrooms and fly with the wings crushed by his teachers.
