Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Yannis Papadopoulos, a soldier in the Greek Army and a father of two, is thrilled when he joins the newly established Armed Forces Television in Athens. At last, after months on the snowy Greek-Bulgarian border, Yannis is confident that he will finally be close to his wife and children. Instead, the talented cinematographer and his resourceful comrades are in for a rude awakening when a certain Georgios Papadopoulos enters the picture to lead a military coup d'état on 21 April 1967. Suddenly, things are looking bleak; a national tragedy has become the new reality. Can Yannis and his brothers-in-arms take advantage of the crisis and come out on top? Written by Nick Riganas |
