In a small village, Michalis, who suffers from amnesia, does not remember that he and three of his fellow villagers were surrounded by the enemy. Specifically, on their way back to their village after the collapse of the Albanian front and the German invasion, somewhere in the Larissa area, the men were supposed to meet up with resistance fighters. However, Michalis does not remember the trap they fell into, where his two companions were killed and he himself was wounded, while the fourth was absent. Yannis had disappeared but suddenly returns to his home, and his presence upsets Michalis. Yannis' father quickly understands why: his son, in order to save his own skin, had betrayed his friends to the Germans. An honest man and a fiery patriot, he tries his son on charges of high treason, finds him guilty, and executes him.

A sometimes blind and sometimes mute homeless panhandler becomes the pivotal point in a modular story composed of secret love affairs, bittersweet conclusions, the end of an era, and pure hope. How hard is it to find an honest man?

Adapted from Nikos Foskolos’ theatrical play. On a terribly stormy night, in a secluded hotel, the owner, Brigadier Norton, is murdered. Prime suspects: his daughter Elena, his second wife Liza, Liza’s niece and her fiancé, Norton’s physician, and the hotel staff. Inspector Fox and his assistant, policeman Petridis, are assigned the investigation of the crime. While the suspects’ questioning is under way, some more people arrive at the hotel: detective Tilemachos Christofis with his assistant Aliki, and lieutenant Karalis, a sworn enemy of the victim, complicating things even more.
