    Storyline

    Edit
    Inspired by Greek novelist Ilias Venezis' book "The Number 31328", Nikos Koundouros depicts the Asia Minor Disaster, as seen through the eyes of three central characters who have failed to embark on ships bound for Greece: the wife of a merchant, a teacher, and a seventeen-year-old youth. The dramatic consequences of the Destruction of Smyrna and the Genocide of the Greeks in Turkey are portrayed through the agonising ordeals of the Asia Minor Greeks, who had been arrested and led to meet their end by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's troops and armed-to-the-teeth groups of Muslims. —Nick Riganas

    One of a kind
    This is the only known film about the summer of 1922 - the last act of the Greek Genocide (one of the three genocides committed by Turkey, the other two being the Armenian and the Assyrian). Such theme is impossible of course to be covered by one film - anyway Koundouros' style is elliptical and always requires a trained eye. One can see in the film only few of the atrocities committed and the culpability of the European nations who were bystanders at that time.
