Description

"It is an old Monastery in the mountains that our comrades have turned into a prison... There, it's as if the earth swallows the prisoners... And, by God, the earth does swallow them!" 1998... On the occasion of a trip to Feneos in Corinthia and the famous Monastery of Saint George that dominates the area, Christina, a young teacher, will discover the crime that took place there during the German Occupation and which is connected to the history of her namesake grandmother, about whom she knew almost nothing... Aigialeia, 1930s... In a beautiful village tied to the cultivation of raisins, two young people fall in love. Christina and Dimitris, despite the fact that she is the daughter of a fisherman and he is the son of a landlord, will fight against everyone to defend their love. However, the scourge of the Occupation and the Civil War will shake their lives, throwing them permanently into separate camps... From the Aigialeia of the Occupation and Resistance to Athens of the December events and the battlefields of the fratricidal war that followed, their story unfolds. Will their love ultimately prove stronger than the hatred that has seeped into the world around them?
