The journey of Ioannis Kapodistrias to glory and death – from his birth in the Venetian-controlled Ionian Islands to his tragic end in Nafplio. The story of the first Greek governor, a solitary hero who selflessly gave himself to Greece and even drained his heart for his homeland to live.

He consciously drank the bitter cup alone until the end, leaving the only woman he loved, Roxandra Stourza, "orphaned." Ioannis, a crusader of education, a doctor for the poor, a cosmopolitan monk, dedicated to his homeland, always walked exclusively guided by his Principles, with a capital P, as he wrote them.

That is why he acted according to the "oughts" from the moment he was born until the moment he breathed his last, murdered by a Greek hand. Roxandra begged him to accompany her as he ascended his Golgotha – but his Principles forced him to refuse... Two lovers who were not destined to become a couple, but sealed the history of Greece.
