The Flatland: hands made of soil!

Giorgos Gkountis



At the end of the 19th century life in the Thessalian plain begins to change. From the hands of the Turkish lovers the land passes to rich Greeks of the diaspora: doctors, merchants, lawyers and even politicians. They are the so-called “tsiflikades”. Among them is Nicholas Doganis, a merchant who claims his own dream, a new beginning for his broken family. Two sons so different from each other, a daughter who becomes a woman and a wife who tries in vain to keep the balance in the new household. The hummingbirds bow again to their new masters and bow their heads to the sweat-soaked earth. But what changes does the new boss bring to the plain? Can they still hope for a better life?
