It is the only novel by George Seferis, which is brought to the small screen in a six-episode mini-series.

On the occasion of a young man’s return from abroad, a group of seven people (boys and girls) in Athens of the 1930s, which has disbanded for many years, decides to get back together and reminisce on old times, but also to get to know each other better. For this reason, they meet on the rock of the Acropolis for six consecutive full-moon nights, trying to discover the hidden symbolism of the monument, in search of a meaning for their hopeless lives.
The protagonists of the series are Stratis, Seferis’ most trusted friend, Salome, Kalliklis, Lala, Nikolas, Nontas and Sphinx, seven young people who attempt to talk about friendship, love and confession in Greece, which is still recovering from the wounds of the Asia Minor Disaster and the National Schism.

Late 1920s: Stratis Thalassinos returns to Greece after his studies in Paris, having previously separated from his French girlfriend, Françoise, finds a country wounded by the Asia Minor Disaster, and reunites with his friends from his teenage years, Nontas, Salomi, Lala, the Sphinx, Nikolas and Kalliklis.
