A Cretan village confronts the Nazi juggernaut sweeping across Europe. A
village matriarch tries to hold her family together...Her grieving son
finds a new life in the Cretan Resistance...A naive English soldier
unwillingly finds the warrior in himself...And a fanatical German
paratrooper is forced to question everything he thought he believed in.
The lives of four ordinary people are irrevocably entwined and their
destinies changed forever as each of them confronts the horrors of war
and its echoes down the decades.
