Based on the book by Ilias Venezis "The Number 31328", the film by Nikos Koundouros unfolds through the personal tragedies of three characters, the Asia Minor Disaster and the agonizing travails of the Asia Minor Greeks who had been arrested and led to death by Kemal's troops and armed groups of Muslims. The wife of a merchant, a teacher and a seventeen-year old boy try to survive, following the column of prisoners into the depths of Asia Minor.

A Polytechnic student, Thanasis, shortly after the death of his mother, moves into the house of his forty-five-year-old brother Petros, who still lives in the atmosphere of the 60s. A former Polytechnic student, he too had formed a rock band with his friends, a group that they still try to keep alive in their free time. Thanasis sees on the doorstep of the house a woman who looks a lot like Eleni, his brother's former girlfriend. He watches her intently and realizes that it is indeed Eleni. She has come from abroad to attend a regular meeting of the old company, which no one seems to remember anymore.

At the turn of the twentieth century a young merchant is abducted by a group of brigands who are sheltered in a remote mountainous area of Greece aiming to extract ransom from his wealthy family. The young man develops a kind of sympathy to the arch-brigand and realizes that the underground life and moral code of his kidnappers actually represent a more genuine expression of “New Hellenism” than his bourgeois well-being.
