With the rise and fall of the Aliberti business group, the first major retail chain of footwear in Greece, Iordanis Aliberti provides a captivating narrative that covers some of the most significant moments in Greek history from the interwar period to the 1980s, featuring himself and his family as the main characters.

The Greek community of the City, the refugees of Drapetsona and Kokkinia, the National Resistance, and the youth movement of the '60s, the Greek diaspora in London, the establishment of Health Centers, are magically intertwined with the lessons learned by a small child from the trade fairs of the provinces, the cabarets of Troumba, but above all from the efforts of the war-torn of the Civil War to rebuild their lives on solid foundations after the end of the fratricidal war.
