Through the life of the Cypriot police officer Luka, the history of an entire generation of Greek Cypriots and the martyred Cyprus unfolds. The bargaining of a country, the yearning for freedom, the constant struggle for the enforcement of the law on one hand and the love for the homeland on the other, love, dignity, injustice, and vindication.

Through the simple life of one man, an era that has much to tell is illuminated, and its tale inevitably and fatally touches the present and the future.
