Yiannis, a teacher from the villages of Pelion, collects and organizes stories from the past. Starting with a photograph, he unravels tales of people from the previous century who experienced the turbulent history of the region, from the world wars to the Civil War. Through scattered fragments of memory, a new vision for the future of the area emerges.

Yiannis takes us to the house of a woman called Tasia. Born to a wealthy family in Asia Minor and brought to Greece as an orphan after her family was slaughtered in 1922, Tasia found herself in this village where she lived her days as the baker's wife. Later, Eleni, now in her 80's, recalls the time she spent with Tasia in the aftermath of her husband's death.
