Set against the historic 1916 miners' strike on the Greek island of Serifos, the series blends fiction with real events from a landmark moment in the labor movement. Perseas, the son of a miner killed in the island's dangerous tunnels, grows up under the guidance of his strong and unconventional mother, Katerineta, who teaches him to face life with courage and dignity. Forced by circumstance to follow his father's path, Perseas begins working in the harsh and perilous mines from dawn until dusk, struggling to survive in the island's unforgiving landscape. Amid exhausting labor and growing tensions between workers and mine owners, Perseas falls in love with Andromeda, the daughter of a man who stands against him and the miners' cause. Their relationship unfolds alongside the rising unrest of the workers, whose fight for fair treatment and humane working conditions becomes a defining moment in their lives and in the broader history of social struggle.

Director’s statement: “Electra is in her early 30s, living in Athens today. She is an artist, but she makes a living working as a babysitter. She is an activist and her boyfriend is a political prisoner. She feels lonely and is struggling to find her place in the world. We follow her as she meets the most important people in her life. Through these meetings, we understand better not only Electra, but also a whole generation of young people who feel stifled in this world. Capitalism, consumerism, globalization are currently being cast into doubt, so I needed to make a film that addresses all these things. What I’m interested in is showing how they affect our everyday life, our small decisions, our intimate relationships.”
