CRETE 1937-1945. Years like sharp spikes, but also with bright wings. Nestor proceeds on the principle: fortunately I owe life and it does not owe me. Arianthi wonders: "Doesn't getting everything in order make life slip away? Michalarias, with half his heart of granite and the other half of cotton, lived like a raging bull after he had dug himself out of the fluff of the earth. Old Violet declares: Either with Tito or in a convent. Diravanas, as he says, turns into a hedgehog to avoid being eaten by foxes. Cadiadienne is calling back the waves. In the face of Charalambis Giannadakis, explosion merges with serenity. Metaxas' dictatorship, the Greek-Italian Front, the Battle of Crete, the ruthless German occupation of the island and the resistance. The terrible and criminal retaliation of the Germans, the propaganda and the intimidation of the people, the social inequality, the teeth of hunger, black marketeers, bribe-takers, informers, people without any moral and ideological barrier, but also those who, when they stand before you, you lower your gaze as in the constellation of the sun. Barefoot truths and shoestring lies. Unscrupulous, fighters, shadowed, hypocrites, mashed consciences, hatred, greed and ingratitude; the soul of the woman struck at the anvil of spring and the man at the anvil of winter, a bloody frilly headdress and the greatest wealth of life: Two eyes to gaze longingly at you.
