Storyline

Plot Summary

April 1941. After invading Greece, and despite previous assurances, the Germans provide safe passage to the Bulgarian troops and guerrillas who, in turn, set foot in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. As the blood-thirsty invaders start terrorising the indigenous Greek population, pillaging and destroying the defenceless villages in their way, the patriotic officer of the Greek Army, Nikos Devetzis, along with his friend, Vasilis Anthimos, return to their birthplace. But, the small community is now under the thumb of Stepan Raiko, the sadistic leader of a barbaric Bulgarian guerrilla team, who takes great pleasure in humiliating, violating, and killing innocents. Can the brave lads of the Resistance rid the place of the despised enemy? Written by Nick Riganas
