The journey of Ioannis Kapodistrias to glory and death – from his birth in the Venetian-ruled Ionian Islands to his tragic end in Nafplio. The story of the first Greek governor, a solitary hero who selflessly devoted himself to Greece and even dried up his heart so that his homeland could live. He consciously drank the bitter cup to the end alone, leaving "orphaned" the only woman he loved, Roxandra Stourtza.
Ioannis, a crusader of education, doctor of the poor, cosmopolitan monk, dedicated to his homeland, always guided exclusively by his Principles, with a capital P, as he wrote them. That is why he did what was "necessary" from the moment he was born until the moment he breathed his last, murdered by a Greek hand. Roxandra begged to accompany him as he climbed his Golgotha – but his Principles forced him to refuse...
Two lovers who were not meant to be together, but who marked the history of Greece.
