Aristos left Thessaloniki for Germany in 1960, a student without a subject, fleeing his family. In 1963, working as an assistant at Munich's vegetable market, he seizes the chance of a paid trip back to Greece. What he recognised as familiar slips away on the road, and something different and just as compelling takes its place. Around him gather Vasiliki, Tryfonas, Chrysanthi, Apostolis, Virtzilis, the Captain and Paschalis, people who cross borders in both directions and settle old scores left by the defeat of the Civil War. The first volume of the trilogy Difficult Times.
