The documentary mini-series records the memories of everyday women who lived an occupied life and survived the horrors of the Second World War. More than 70 women, from all over Greece, tell how they were forced, at a tender age, to mature violently in one night and face war, hunger, occupation, resistance and liberation, with bravery, composure and resourcefulness . Some energetic, some shy, some still emotionally charged, these women remember how their fear turned into strength and the play of carefree childhood became a responsibility and an adult role. Their testimonies are small mosaics that make up the palimpsest of the micro-history of Greece. A story experienced through multiple lives.. Their memories are precious not only because they are the last survivors of a martyred historical period, but because they co-shaped, with missing emotions and a spiritually plundered world, a new life.

Eighteen nautical miles east of Amorgos, lies Kinaros. An island of the Aegean sea, in the sea area between Cyclades and Dodecanese. Three people, one place, one dream. Renio makes a promise not to leave the place of his birth alone. On the return "journey" she is followed by her husband and her son. But life had other plans.. The lens observes the everyday life and the struggle of Rhenios to keep alive the lands where her people were born and walked. An attempt by the director to record through her own eyes, integrating the camera into her relationship with the protagonist and letting the events unfold in real time.

Island of Imvros, 2005-2009. The documentary portrays the lives, the voices, the moments that have passed; the everyday life of people who never left their land. It presents the dreams that people continue to foster for a homeland that they were deprived of, that was violently taken from them, that was devastated. Memories, dreams, sacrifices, suffering, nostalgia, life. All these unfold through the stories of the heroes. It is their homeland that they are looking for in the rubble. It is their lives that they want to recreate. It is their dreams that they wish to be revived.

A tribute to Nikos Kazantzakis, the great writer and thinker. Researchers, university professors, who dealt with the great Cretan and world creator, but also ordinary everyday people, tell stories they lived and heard, outlining his life and work. His relationship with God, travel, love, philosophy, friendship, love, music and dreams are recorded in filming that took place in Crete, Aegina, Thessaloniki and Athens. The tribute is the truth of his personal path, a path that is identified with his life and work.
