Είμαι όσα έχω ξεχάσει

When we speak about our father's life, how far are we speaking about our own? The first-person narrator of this true story moves from one island of memory to another, in a vast sea of forgetting, searching like an archaeologist or an astronomer observing the universe's past for the man his father was before he became his father, and for his country before it became his. What he finds are buried family secrets, killings, traumas that travel through time, unfinished loves, images and words that form an uneven path through which he tries to recover lost connections, with himself and above all with the people around him.
