Summaries

After years of estrangement, two best friends reunite at a New Year's Eve party. As they take a trip down memory lane, their bittersweet story unfolds: 15 long years of youthful ambitions, sacrifices, lost loves, and forgotten ideals.

The story begins during the time of the Junta (1967-1974) when Lefteris used to work at the fish-market in Mesolonggi in order to be able to finish his studies at the Polytechnic University. Later on, we watch Lefteris' life through his relationship with Dimitra, a fellow student. The ups and downs in their relationship during the course of their studies end up in a deadlock, in which they sacrifice their relationship to their quest for success.—Ulf Kjell Gür
