You see, my boy, I am an old whore. To understand, I've even been with Karyotakis." A hundred years old, Rena wakes up one morning, makes coffee, and sits down to tell the story of her life to a young visitor who happened to see her photo in a newspaper.
Born in the early 20th century in a brothel in Chaytia, a prostitute herself from the age of twelve, Rena's only guiding force is love: love for Marco, who introduces her to the Party; for Roula, who reveals to her the other side of love; for Vasilis, who collects the fragments of her life and gives her a breath of hope before the deep darkness.
And from one embrace to another, from passion to passion, Rena unwittingly becomes part of history – a bewildered dot in the crowd, from the strike of the tobacco workers in Thessaloniki and its bloody conclusion to the December events, exile to the deserted islands, the Polytechnic uprising.
And Rena lights another cigarette, fills her glass again, kicks the thread of her story – and memory comes alive, becomes company. A heart like the shutter of a camera, capturing every beat what you must remember.
