A lawyer, offspring of a bourgeois family of Egyptians, tries to find the traces of a relative of his.

Unable to find his whereabouts, the family of a poet who has disappeared enlists the help of an experienced lawyer, the descendant of a bourgeois family of Egyptians. Starting from Alexandria, Egypt, the determined investigator tries to piece together the faded memories of bygone times, following the trail of the Greek Diaspora, from the time of Alexander the Great up to the present.—Nick Riganas
