Ανάληψη

The Peristero, a petrol-driven speedboat, makes its maiden voyage on the lake of Kastoria. It is 13 June 1929, Ascension Day, and from dawn it carries pilgrims to Dispilio, the so-called Island, where every year on this day a feast follows the liturgy at the church of the Ascension. Its third crossing will never arrive. A teacher's doomed love for a foster daughter, a teenager's thwarted dream of a better life in America, the young life of a baby and another life carried in a tragic womb plunge the town into mourning.
