Set during the Greek Civil War, a family is displaced from its village and moved to a derelict building along with hundreds of others. The film documents their lives and struggles during those trying times.

Greece, 1948. As the Greek Civil War neared its end, the government ordered the evacuation of border villages to ensure safe passage for the army. As a result, Margaritis, a farmer uprooted from his home and land, has no choice but to seek refuge in Thessaloniki with his two adult children in tow. But instead of a better future, they moved into the Caravan Serai, a run-down building requisitioned by the state, packed with displaced people. Now struggling with hunger and unemployment, Margaritis must face a daunting challenge: protect his family from the horrors of civil strife, whatever the cost, or save his skin.—Nick Riganas
