Synopsis

Director Stavros, at first glance a successful mature man, returns to the country and places of his childhood after many years. He was one of more than three thousand Greek children who found refuge from civil war in the former Czechoslovakia in May 1948. His trip to Brno this time is also purely personal. He wants to transport the remains of his grandparents, who raised him here and died in forced exile, to his beloved Greece. Returning to familiar places evokes intense childhood memories in Stavros and a need to follow in his own footsteps. He was first placed in a boarding school where military discipline reigned. It was only his grandfather and grandmother, who had settled in Brno, who were able to replace his lost family background, and he in turn became their intermediary with the unknown Central European country and its people.
