Aristea learned early on to fight. Growing up in a conservative family in Rethymno in the early twentieth century, she clashes with her parents over her right to study and carve her own path.
Against the established beliefs of the era, which saw women solely as wives, mothers, and homemakers, she rents a house in Athens, which becomes a refuge for her... and for those pursued by the tyrannical regime of Metaxas' dictatorship. Among university classrooms and resistance circles, she becomes "Pasiphae" – a name that transforms into a slogan and saves lives.
And then the great love appears. A man who marks her life forever. At first, this love resembles the flash of a firecracker, illuminating the sky for a moment and then vanishing into the depths of the horizon. Later, however, it grows and becomes a fire, fiery silk in the firmament... Though their paths diverge, the feelings never fade.
Occupation, civil war, colonels' dictatorship, and a change of regime, and Aristea transforms into a heroine! She changes places to escape her pursuers and faces to perhaps escape even from herself...
She lives a thousand lives in one! A life full of passion, losses, and secrets that remained in the shadows for years.
