A historical novel of the wider northern Greek region through the chronicle of two families spanning three generations. From Eastern Romylia and Adrianople in the late 19th century, to the burned villages of ethnic rivalries in Macedonia of the same era, to present-day Thessaloniki, the wars, the refugee crisis, the sweat and the passions of so many years come together and drain in the encounter of a man and a woman during a three-day heatwave in August under peculiar circumstances.
It is yet another epic novel of the struggle of everyday life, as well as an elegy of the "failures", of love and of time passing. But above all, it is the extensive novel of Thessaloniki. The buildings, the streets, the hangouts, the corners, the outskirts, its entire skin, with the imprint of a whole century.
