Growing up, Charis Alexiadis is ever more interested in great world events, and after a short stint in the Athens press the rise of private television gives him a unique chance: to be in Sarajevo in June 1992 as war correspondent for a big new channel. Thrilled, he stays far longer than planned as the fighting turns into the longest siege of a capital in modern war, and his enthusiasm wears down into exhaustion from cold and insecurity. On 5 February 1994 he records the shelling of the Markale market. Back in Greece he cannot adjust and becomes the host of a music game show, swept into a new, dazzling life of TV studios and Athenian society.
