Vathis Spyridon, right.

Lefkos, get out of here.

My father needs me in the battles.

I can't go.

I wish I could draw a cross and go.

What if war breaks out again?

Nothing will happen.

I'll tell you what will happen.

That's why you have God to make an army.

Because after the black 97 we were destroyed.

Dimatsos Konstantinos.

Dimatsos Konstantinos, right.

The next one, Thaleros Vassilios.

It's over. It's over. I'm only 17.

You were born in 1885. He says it here. You're 21.

I think he's wrong.

Have you stopped serving your country?

It was a mistake, I say.

The royal army never makes mistakes.

I'm 17 too, Mr. Lohaie.

I have 17, too, Mr. Lochaie.

But my official documents say it's my military duty.

To pull the trigger.

Come on, my boy. What's next?

I'm 17, I tell you.

Whatever they say, you're their papers.

Get out of here!

The next one!

Therianos Georgios!

Therianos Georgios!

He's talking to you. Go.

Continue! I repeat, all the young people over the age of 21, who were or will be dragged by the cross,

will be called to be present on the coming October at the 10th Pesikon Syntagma of Kerkira,

taking them to the service of the country.

Shall I take you with me? Maybe you can join us?

How am I going to live?

Until I leave, we have so many months ahead of us, why should we cry from now on?

What else is left?

I am your mother and I love you more than God.

But if you come here as your husband misses you, and you don't go to your parents, what will people say?

They will not ignore me, thousands of seas.

What does your father say?

I don't know, George hasn't spoken to you yet.

He wants to say, first tell his father.

I wish she would accept it.

I don't see any other way.

And you should go and check her water.

It will take a while, until your husband comes back.

We'll see.

Your father?

He has changed a lot lately.

He doesn't drink. He stopped drinking.

That's good.

That's very good.

I'm not hiding it from you,

that when I found out that your father got you out of my head,

I was in a daze.

What else did I see out there?

Don't give your father a hard time. He took it too hard.

I saw that you didn't care...

and I gave up.

It's as if you didn't think about the shame that fell on me.

From the innocent child I gave birth to, to a house that is ruled by the rich...

when a person drinks, he loses his mind.

Your father's father. That's why he died.

I didn't know that.

Only a few know that.

I learned it from my father.

I don't know, mum. I've lost them.

Don't be upset.

Welcome to my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law.

Is this a military base?

What nonsense is this?

You don't go to prison, a soldier does.

I told my father that they had to take you home.

You? What are you saying?

What can I say?

You and my father.

So, you're saying that you're going to the military base?

And my father.

So, what's going to happen to your father?

Is he going to be the mother's son again?

How much will I miss him?

We didn't say forever.

In the meantime, will I be taken for granted?

I can't wait any longer.

And you?

You don't have a boyfriend?

I don't recognize you.

And tell me what I want with my heart.

What I want.

But if your mother sends you on your feet,

what's going to happen?

Will you bring her with Zori?

Do you want your wife to testify next to you in a string, you bastard?

And what are we going to do?

You go and talk to her.

I will go.

But you're not going alone.

But with whom?

With your bastard. He will pay for it.

I will do it. Tomorrow and all.

Is it a golden dawn?

Do as you think.

Let my mother have her love, just like you.

Don't judge her.

Good evening, you bastard.

Good evening.

Good evening.

We agreed, but my husband is not here.

We don't want him.

We came for you.

Shall we go inside and say a few words?

As you wish.

Come in.

What did you agree on?

A good soldier, Giorgi.

And a good reason to come back.

There is no reason for us to hide.

It seemed bad to us when you kidnapped the kids.

We were upset.

That's why it was a good thing.

She's in their house and we're in ours.

She's neither the first nor the last.

Leave it, father.

My mother is free and she loves me more.

I always love you.

And now that I'm leaving for the army,

where will I leave my wife?

The nuns are like the cuckoos.

Two together in the same cottage, they don't make a village.

Why don't you go to her parents?

Should I take her?

While she has parents?

What are you asking for, Diamantos?

Don't I kill her better?

I'm fed up with what we heard when you left the house.

You don't know what a bad girl is.

What if she stays at her house?

I won't let her.

A woman alone with such beauty.

She's in danger of her honor.

I'd better be a subordinate.

So that they don't catch me, I can get her and get out of here.

So, tell me.

If your father wants...

He does.

Oh, you agreed on everything.

Okay, I'll say yes.

But after I talk to my fiancée.

Do you want to go as a man?

So we can see you as a woman.

Isn't that fair?

Whatever you say.

Last year?

It was last year.

Happy New Year.

This year we changed.

And not just difficult.

And let's see from now on.

Until autumn, when it's time to leave.

Don't bother about my birthday and mine.

They're talking.

He's gone.

Her parents.

They couldn't find her.

Is she leaving as a soldier?

She's not leaving forever.

She'll go and come back.

Do you want to come home?

They want to.

The people.

They want us to sit down and talk like women.

We two mothers know more than others.

Why? To put them in the hands of a father and a son God has kept.

Or yours?

How do I know such a thing?

I'm ashamed just thinking about it.

What will they say about me?

My father loves me.

But he puts his honor above his love.

One of the two he would do.

Either he wouldn't believe me or he would kill him.

Anyway, your father has changed. He's good now.

But again, who knows?

The devil has many legs, and the devil is divided in half.

On the one hand, the angel pulls him, on the other, the devil.

If he wants to be the best in the world, he can't even eat a chicken.

On the other hand...

A boy is sleeping inside him.

He came and found me, your father, with George.

Yes. My father came yesterday and talked to your son.

He said he agrees to come back, but he's waiting for your decision.

He asked George to come with my father and talk to him.

What do you say?

What can I say? I've lost him.

At times I'm afraid of him and at other times I wonder if I've wronged him.

Maybe he didn't have a bad intention. Maybe he's just trying to escape.

And I think about it without any bad thoughts.

He's made me think again.

Now that he's not drinking, he's always very careful.

We've met so many times since the day we left the house...

And I never understood that he was doing something inappropriate.

What can I say? Maybe it was my own ideas.

But again, that's how my thoughts made me feel.

I don't know, I don't know.

We have no other choice. I have to go back.

God will help you.

So? Did you get on my nerves?

Look at yours. We never got on my nerves.

Now that your son is leaving, where will he stay?

That's how it should be.

I love you.

Take care, my child.

Have a nice trip.

Have a good life.

Write to me every day.

Good luck, my son.

Take care, my child.

Have a good trip.

What are you doing there?

You remind me of the time when you were a kid.

Did you forget it?

Which one?

Kinoki. It's full.

The golden one?

The ones with the father.

With the father?

You're going to break their food.

Which one?

I'm going to run downstairs.

Are you still here?

Light your feet!

It's her.

Ferianou, does she look like her?

She is.

Have a nice day.

Good morning.

How did it end up like this?

You're so hypocritical that Tacha keeps me waiting for her husband.

It's fine. She keeps her clothes.

That's how we get along.

Thank you.

Happy? What kind of beer?

I don't drink.

Are you going to wish us good luck for our kids?

Say goodbye to Konstantinos, but...

I can't.

He's right.

If you cut it and then restart it...

I'll steal it.

A little milk for Stathis.

There are the pieces. Come on, let's have a toast.

So, they will treat you like the high mountains.

Thank you.

The time is good.

And as if the son will leave with the good.

And we will see the daughter.

Amen. No more.

Leave it, leave it. Don't put it on.

Let the old apple go.

Let's have a toast.

And when is the wedding? With the good?

This time we say to postpone it.

We need to find out about our mistakes.

It's better to wait for us to marry our children after the military.

Why? We married before what happened.

You, father, a man is not only to do what you like.

A man is to admit your mistakes.

Admit it. You were not wise on our part.

Now, your son was cured and they took him.

Now, your son got a divorce and they took him away.

What's the result?

He's crying for his wife at the army camp...

and she's crying for your husband at your house.

If they were married, they would cry again.

At least my daughter would cry...

at her own house.

In her mother's arms.

I'm sorry, Zimbethas.

But we have her as a child too.

Come on, come on, come on. Don't ruin our mood.

The kids are fine.

They love each other.

Yes, of course.

Yes, that counts.

Only that my daughter grew up on her own and before her time.

Don't worry.

Such beauty, no matter how much she fights, doesn't go away.

Yes, of course.

In the name of the Holy Father, the Lord Jesus Christ,

bless and save us.

Bon appetit.

Bon appetit.

Tell me.

Come on, give it to me.

My beloved wife,

I'm writing to you from Skopje, it's night time, everyone is asleep but I'm constantly thinking about you.

I'm thinking about our home and everything is going back to the way it used to be.

But I want you to be patient.

I've written to you in the past, I'm writing to you again now.

Nothing has changed, you know that when I come back everything will be the same as before.

And even better, I haven't begged for a holiday.

But I can't wait for Easter to come,

for you to kiss my father, my mother and my brothers.

And tell them how much I love them.

I will kiss you, your husband, the soldier Georgios Konstantopoulos.

I'm going to play. Are you coming?

In a bit. Let's finish.

I love you. Good night, Nithi.

Good night, father.

It's winter, Eti.

It's almost four months.

Have you been thinking about him?

All the time.

Be brave. He'll be back.

I'm sad that I don't know the letters to write to him.

Let your father write them.

And if you don't want to, your brother.

What I want to write to him, I shouldn't listen to anyone else.

What I want to tell him is that I forget that you are his mother, that I love you for my own sake.

I am your own mother too.

Your mother is right when she says that.

I am tired of the bad things you do to yourself.

And even if I hate you for your stupidity, it doesn't matter if I see you like this.

Then you should do the same thing, Agios.

Because you will have me like this until my husband comes.

How do you see things?

You see, Panagia heard our prayers.

Yes, she didn't give any right.

I'm suspicious and it seems so.

But the poor man doesn't take it.

Until we miss him for hours.

Kaliogai is tough, isn't he?

You love him.

What who? Your husband.

I didn't ask you any difficult question.

If you love him, I asked.

and forgive me for being bold, but you're so different.

We've been together for 22 measured years.

Is it possible to be with someone every night for 22 measured years...

and not love him the way you do?

The way you do? Are there many ways?

You know how to steal secrets, don't you?

That's what I say.

Let's say...

that before your father, I loved someone else.

Why didn't you take him?

We had a reason.

And why didn't you take him?

Shhh, your father stole me.

That's what I want.

And then, the bad thing had already happened.

I had to get rid of him.

God would have decided otherwise.

But you are scaring me.

How could he do something like that?

Love spoiled him.

And the sadness.

So he wanted me small.

Your father is good gold.

If he puts something in his head, the world will ruin it.

What are you thinking?

Go away!

Whatever has happened, has happened. And it won't happen again.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Forgive me.
