“...The trial of Suares has a carnival grandeur. It illuminates the carnival and the majestic aspect of the human condition…” Demosthenes Karampalikis.
The most emblematic living criminal lawyer, a key player in the most sensational trials of the last half-century. Serafim-Makis Sakkas. The director of the firm “Karampalikis and Associates”. Intelligent, hardworking, a gentleman. Yet, he has a physical defect that—no matter how much he tries to hide it—limits him and brings bitterness to his life.
The world of fighting lawyers. Mr. Fotiadis, an eccentric genius. Haris Tsetinis, a court bloodhound. Konstantina Giannou, beautiful, daughter of a bankrupt industrialist. Solon Loukos, with the suppressed ambition of an academic career and unconfessed political aspirations. Efthimis Vogiatzis, a dark figure, a proper hyena. Panagiota Aivali, “the gentleman’s lady” and heir to the firm.
One afternoon, Edmond Suares appears at the office. He asks for an audience with Karampalikis. He speaks with Makis Sakkas. A wholesale dealer in musical instruments, Suares reveals that he killed a man in 1983. He asks to surrender to justice. “It’s impossible for you to be tried,” replies Makis. “All crimes in Greece are subject to a statute of limitations after twenty years…”
“I will be tried. You will judge me!” “Perhaps the trial will be a purgatory for Suares.” “Purgatory?” “Purgatorium in Latin. The place where souls are purified. The ante-chamber of Paradise. Or—if you do not prove yourself worthy—of Hell…” Perhaps the Suares Trial will serve as purgatory for all.
