PLOT

The film is based on true events, the battle of the Monastery of Dobra in Veroia, in March 1822. However, history repeats itself. Amidst the hostile climate of war, two families meet at a monastery to secretly perform a wedding. However, this does not go unnoticed. A betrayal will lead thousands of Turkish soldiers to the monastery. The abbot of the monastery, the monks, and the members of the two families take up arms, and the siege begins. Along with it, a struggle for survival and a series of revelations also begin. The story unfolds on the big screen through a conversation between two Greek army officers at the Roupel Fortress in March 1941, who are facing the same challenges a few days before the German attack.
