Summary The film follows a traveling troupe of actors around Greece, always performing the same play, “Golfo” by Spyridon Peresiadis. The dynamics among the troupe’s members have a powerful symmetry to the relationships among the characters of Sophocles’ trilogy, “Oresteia”. Through the troupe’s wanderings all over Greece, we get a glimpse of the country’s turbulent history during the war- and post-war period (1939-52). The story begins in 1952, when the troupe visits Aigion for the first time since 1939. A string of flash-backs begins from there – the troupe, being a miniature version of Greek society, is influenced by the dramatic events of the period and marked by them.
