April 1941. A group of Cypriot students are trapped in Athens by the German invasion, unable to return to their homeland or communicate with their families. Caught in the maelstrom of World War II, these young people attempt to resist fascism while at the same time experiencing the first major, defining moments of their lives—love, loss, betrayal, and a confrontation with history itself. 

The autobiographical novel of Magda Kitromilidou is presented on stage for the first time, in a stage adaptation and dramatization directed by Magdalene Zira, shedding light on a distinctive aspect of Greek and Cypriot history.
