The days that tear up
Myrsini, an Architecture student, and her brother Achilles, who is preparing to take the university entrance exams, each experience the Polytechnic uprising in their own way in November 1973 in Athens. Four days during which each one confronts themselves, fascism, love, and death. Four days filled with significant decisions, crucial actions, and overwhelming emotions. Four days inside and outside the occupied Polytechnic University of Athens, where clubs, tear gas, and bullets from the dictatorship of the colonels tighten the grip around the female and male students, leading to developments. "I don't know if we will overthrow the junta. We will, however, overthrow the silence."
