Life will unfold in such a way that the two brothers, as they grow up, will lose each other from their lives. Maximos will develop an honest and upright character, supporting his parents in the village, but life will show him its harsh side and soon the losses he will experience will transform him into a hard rock.

After so many blows, will Maximos finally manage to stay true to the words of his beloved grandfather that have haunted him all his life?
