1960s. A group of fifteen-year-olds defends their time, which the adult world threatens. A stone bench will become the stage for their dreams, and the neighborhood their base for wandering, as everything around them changes with force.

Will they manage, against parents, school, and dictatorship, to keep their adolescence intact by repelling the invaders? What role will French noir and the invasion of British rock in Athens play? For whom will they leave behind their school diaries? Will their bonds remain unbreakable until the end?

After forty years, Calypso is trying to reclaim her lost time by writing a novel. 'The present is a ghost dimension that exists only in the past and the future...' What connects her to those whose stories are lost in time? Will she manage to find the author of the diaries, and what does she hope for from this meeting?

Will writing the book be a panacea for every ache of the soul, or perhaps a new path with an unknown destination, to a place woven by hope?
