Once there was a girl who had heard the statues sing, had danced with them in the moonlight, had seen them shed tears.
Because at night, the statues come to life. Angelina knew this well, since she had practically grown up inside the museum. Besides, the fact that she had one whole and one half, "cursed" hand made her resemble them even more. Except for Tiko, her only flesh-and-blood friend, the statues were her best friends.

When Mussolini declared war on Greece, the fear that the darkness of Nazism would prevail became even stronger. And everyone connected to the Museum, from archaeologists to simple workers, all shared a common anxiety; they all protected the same secret that seemed to be summed up in a single phrase: "We must make it in time…".
Angelina will want to learn that secret and will help Tiko hide his own.

A deeply human and anti-war story about friendship, coming of age, the search for identity, and the need to preserve cultural heritage, based on the true story of the hiding of the antiquities of the National Archaeological Museum during the Greco-Italian War.
