The re-education camp
Lefteris was six years old when he was sent to a re-education camp on an island with his mother during the Greek Civil War. Because his mother refused to renounce communism, he was separated from her. What remained were the daily denunciations from the loudspeakers.
As an old man, he returns to search for traces of his history.
