With the completion of the third part of the trilogy, a debt is also repaid to the anonymous women who stood up in dark times – from the 1-1-4 movement and the Lambrakis Youth to the torture chambers of EAT-ESA and the General Security. Portraits of ordinary women who experienced firsthand the true value of struggle.

In Greek prisons, thousands of refugees and migrants are convicted as traffickers. Rescuer Jason Apostolopoulos takes part in an international endeavor to save three innocent people.
