17-year-old Maria Christina lives in Metsovo in 1940, where women are judged by their physical strength.
The tall, nearsighted girl lives in the shadow of her sister, Matoula, who has all the necessary qualities to be considered the ideal woman of the era. Matoula and her husband, Giannis, are Maria Christina's ideals, which makes her life even more complicated...
Her calm and unremarkable life is upset by World War II and later the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949. With Metsovo at the eye of the storm, Greece and the entire world torn apart, Maria Christina experiences her own transformation.
The events affect three generations of the Triantafyllou family and change the fate of the entire community, redefining the role of women in society.
A powerful story of love, heroism, loss, and survival.
