The story of the meeting of two women in their forties from nοοn of Μay 20th, 1964 to the next morning. Filio is a widow and the sister of Andreas Kallimanopoulos, a hero in the resistance who was executed in December 1944 before he could be imprisoned, exiled or sign a declaration of repentance. Filiο knows many things about this man with whom she fell in love as an adolescent, married at 19 and deserted a little before his death. When she left for the United States in December of 1944 she took his secrets and their yet unborn son with her. Since then she has been silent. Dimitra is a member of the communist party, an ambassador of justice (first and foremost for herself and for her family) and loquacious. She exposes herself, claims, wrongs, errs. She honours the memory of her brother whom she adored. The two women lived through the same historic events: The German occupation, the civil war, strife. Yet they described them differently. They lived through the same family events: persecution, loss, sacrifice, love, mourning. And nοw 1 5 years later they meet in a neoclassical Athenian home, a few square metres capable of shattering both leftwing and rightwing consciences in the era of the building boom. Filio will break her 20-year silence and Dimitra will be forced to learn. |
