Plot

The story is set in a mountain village in Arcadia (the movie was filmed in Stemnitsa, Dimitsana and the surrounding areas) shortly later the Metapolitefsi (the fall of the military junta of 1967–74). The unveiling of a repository to those who died during the Occupation (World War II) stirs up the village, because the name of a communist partisan who was killed was omitted. Periklis (V.
