About

Nick is a writer in New York when he gets posted to a bureau in Greece. He has waited 30 years for this. He wants to know why his mother was killed in the civil war years earlier. In a parallel plot line we see Nick as a young boy and his family as they struggle to survive in the occupied Greek hillside. The plot lines converge as Nick's investigations bring him closer to the answers.

The rugged, war-torn landscapes of the Greek countryside provide a haunting backdrop for a family's struggle to endure occupation. This dual timeline connects a man's modern search for truth to the visceral, life-or-death decisions of his childhood.
