Dimitrios Giannakoudakis

In a crowded seaside town in Malta, Dimitrios drifts through a world of concrete, haunted by a mysterious past and detached from the world around him, until he meets Annie. Like him, she has a child she never sees, has suffered love's disappointments, and lives without freedom or companionship. Fate draws them together, yet circumstances pull them apart.

How the citizens of Malta fought for independence from Britain in 1919. When the Army was sent to quell the riots and the British government covered up the bloody encounter, more than 100 Maltese were accused of instigating the violence and jailed.
