The documentary mini-series records the memories of everyday women who lived an occupied life and survived the horrors of the Second World War. More than 70 women, from all over Greece, tell how they were forced, at a tender age, to mature violently in one night and face war, hunger, occupation, resistance and liberation, with bravery, composure and resourcefulness . Some energetic, some shy, some still emotionally charged, these women remember how their fear turned into strength and the play of carefree childhood became a responsibility and an adult role. Their testimonies are small mosaics that make up the palimpsest of the micro-history of Greece. A story experienced through multiple lives.. Their memories are precious not only because they are the last survivors of a martyred historical period, but because they co-shaped, with missing emotions and a spiritually plundered world, a new life.
