The setting: Nea Ionia, a neighborhood in Volos, a neighborhood of refugees. The protagonists: the 'Seagulls', a group of children, at the sensitive age before adolescence, and the 'Sparrows', their younger siblings. The story begins with snow, pure white and sparkling, covering everything and forcing schools to close for three days. And we begin to follow the footsteps of the children as they unfold their thoughts and feelings, interpret and transform, with their magical gaze, the world around them. A hungry bird appears out of nowhere. Searching to satisfy its hunger, it leaves footprints on the snow, footprints reminiscent of ancient writing. The children's imagination catches fire. Do birds have their own language? And how will they manage to read these traces? Each child will translate the messages in their own way, each child will write their own story, and these stories, full of tenderness and humor, will embrace young and old, Greeks and immigrants, all those who try to settle in a neighborhood and walk with sure steps on the path of their lives.
