In Grammos, in the spring of 1949, winter had not yet surrendered its weapons. In the ravines, under the moon or absolute darkness, people were heading towards an end that had no name. Among them, Major Ioannis Valasis.

A word in a forgotten military document – "suicided" – becomes the reason for reconstructing the life of the major and the night when he turned his weapon on himself. From Asia Minor and the Evelpidon Military Academy, to the front line of the Fortification Line, the few days of captivity, the Occupation, his return to the new regular army, the Dekemvriana, the military operations of 1946-1948 against the armed insurgents and, finally, Grammos (1949), Valasis’s journey condenses the fate of an entire generation.

A narrative about honor, responsibility, and despair. About the Civil War as carried by the body and conscience. And about the way History leaves behind people – not just events.
