Στην απέναντι όχθη

In 1924 Petros Charisis rides his mule home from America along a forest track carpeted with dry leaves, unsure whether this homecoming will end his years of adventure or begin something new. In the Mourgana mountains, where Greece meets Albania, he starts over: beside the river Xerias he puts up a hut, and a new village grows around it. His family and fortune increase until the frontier, which runs through the village, is sealed and he becomes an Albanian citizen overnight. Political strife, persecution of minorities, spying and family tragedy fill three and a half dark decades.
