  • Year: 1985
  • Description: An old Greek-Cypriot fighter of EOKA (National Organization of Cypriot Fighters), Evagoras, who fought the British for the independence of the island and now lives in London, goes back to find his wife Afroditi and their son, whose tracks he lost after the Turkish invasion in 1974, while they were on the island for vacation. He settles in a hotel in Nicosia and starts following all possible leads. Before he finds himself in the occupied zone, he spends an erotic interlude with a hooker, who is also called Afroditi. A heartbreaking tour of the historical events, the divided land and the irrevocable past. A contemplation on the struggle with life and death.
