With an unconventional term, this book could be described as a "road trip-elegy".

The war between Greece and Turkey has just ended and two men, Alexandros and Mr. Fragmos, separated from their comrades, attempt a discreet descent towards Athens, in search of a return to normalcy after the turmoil of the front. With the generation gap separating them, they travel through the beautiful landscapes of Thrace and Macedonia, encountering forgotten villages by chance along their way. Soon they will realize that assimilation between people can prove to be an extremely complex and painful endeavor, far from any dialectical scheme. A long dialogue unfolds between them, about politics, friendship, parent-child relationships, but also about the ambiguity of the illness that each one carries within. A book about life and death.
