The film is set in the spring of 1941. The spring is a cold one that year. Greece is already under German occupation. A squad of soldiers is worn down at the front. An order comes from headquarters in Athens. The order is to fall back. They are to leave the Albanian front behind. The soldiers make their way over snow-covered ground. The country they pass through has been scarred by bombing. As they walk they come to understand one thing for certain. Nothing will ever be the same again. That knowledge settles over all of them. Aimilia Pitta and Faidon Georgitsis take the leads, with Takis Emmanuel and Eleni Zafeiriou also in the cast, in Takis Kanellopoulos’s Greek film of 1962.
