Description

Andreas Kalvos. A cosmopolitan in spirit and perception. A rebel at heart. A Carbonaro. He wanders through Florence, Zurich, London, Paris, and back to Florence. Then Geneva, and again Paris, Nafplio, Corfu, once more London, Essex, and finally, Louth.

At night, with a heavy coat, he walks through real and imaginary streets. He is on the way to Chios, Parga, Psara, Samos, Souli. He dons his festive attire and praises Byron, Kanaris, Botsaris. He sings for freedom, virtue, homeland, glory, victory.

He is filled with love for his homeland, for life, for knowledge, for the Muses. Silence covers his life like a veil from the moment he returns to Greece. His poetry falls silent too. Within the haze of time, his image fades away...

A fictionalized biography of Andreas Kalvos that reconstructs the lost portrait of the national poet and takes us on a journey to the 19th century, the era of romanticism, revolutions, and great social changes.
