In contrasting roles from those we are accustomed to: on one side, Ioannis Metaxas, a proponent of the Unmonarchic Republic and, by his own admission, an advocate of parliamentarism; on the other, the conciliatory and moderate Panagis Tsaldaris, leader of the extremes and the unyielding, refusing to compromise with the Unmonarchic.

Two different management mindsets, two different ideologies, two parties vying for the same political space, two leaders clashing until the final fall.

Political backstage, personal strategies, relentless political rivalries against the backdrop of a fragmented interwar society and unspeakable refugee misery. Behind-the-scenes military interventions, personal dilemmas, parliamentary skirmishes and incidents, bribery, developmental projects, and anti-communism in an era of extreme political passions and intransigence.
