“Transfixed by a sound that came to me at night Let me wake up and still remember it” (Mira)

The director dramatizes events that took place after the death of an uncle he only met through his personal belongings. Filmed at his actual apartment in Athens.

A musician wonders around the Greek province. On his way to Athens he picks up a young girl.

The 22-year Siege of Candia unfolds through the struggles of the besieged and the attackers, the failed Venetian efforts, and an unfulfilled love. Personal testimonies bring to life the dramatic events of Crete's past, as memory and time collide nearly four centuries later.
