Manolis, Dimitra, and Giannis met in difficult times. Tell me, life, why do you make the sweetest bonds sorrowful in the end? Three children – wounded and exiled, street urchins – get to know each other, nest in an occupation in Exarchia, and become siblings.
In the early '90s, Athens is frenetic: rivers of wealth on one side, despair of the night on the other. Heroin, sidewalks, stabbings, brutal poverty. The three friends struggle to live their youth, but danger looms all around: ruthless bosses and clients, enemies of the occupations, a habitual ghost murderer set on cleaning up the scene – and above all, hidden everywhere, the specter of AIDS, hungry for bodies that ache for love.
Twenty-five years later, the only surviving member of the group recounts those unforgettable times, conversing with lost friends. A story of nostalgia and the pain of unjust youth, a hymn to the unquenchable flame of friendship. Even when I cry and ache for the sleeping friends, I do not wake up. A novel of camaraderie, laughter, and tears. A friend means your heart in another's chest.
