Following the torpedoing of the destroyer Elli on August 15, 1940 on Tinos by an Italian submarine, war was declared, and the Italians attacked the Albanian front on October 28. From an outpost on the Greek-Albanian border, a military truck unexpectedly comes under fire by Italian tanks. Petros, the only one who manages to escape death or captivity, saves a village girl, Maria. However, the Greeks manage to recapture the machine-gun nest, setting free the soldiers who had been pinned down. The platoon in question puts up a hard fight against the Italian invaders, while, at the same time, the Greek army is preparing for a counter-attack, which doesn't take long to happen. Right after, the Italians are forced to fall back; Northern Epirus is recaptured, and the army of the Badoglio is repulsed from the Adriatic.

SeriesDrama
Love, passion, fear, pain, blood. All symbolized by the most intense of colors, red, because people who live with passion live against a red background. In 1967, a soldier in the Greek division leaves Cyprus, losing his teenage love forever. Forty-one years later, he learns that he left much more behind. A woman trapped in a dead marriage, but at the same time caught up in a passionate and forbidden love affair. A doomed love affair that will lead two brothers into a deadly conflict. When one foot steps into passion, the other is surely in the wrong. But only the dead are far from passion and error. The living are doomed to experience the supreme happiness of a love that is born, but also the deep pain left behind by a love that dies, or, even worse, a love that is forever forbidden and unfulfilled. Joy and tears, love and pain, are all painted on a red background!
