The psyche of Athens through the transfer, the relocation of the National Library. The dominant old building of the National Library in the centre of Athens, with its neoclassical style pillars, tries to remind us of the Golden Age of Pericles and the sages of ancient Greece. But few of the residents seem to be interested in it. The preparations for the transfer of the books, ‘victims’ of looting and wear, have begun. In a city that looks like a battlefield we witness both the transfer and the city, which in its unrest remains exciting. And also, we get to hear the voice of the National Library, connecting the past with the present, wondering about the future.

From the onset of the civil war, from 1946 and up until 1955, court-martials had sent thousands of young people from the ranks of EAM, ELAS, and KKE before a firing squad. Until a three-to-two judgment verdict was allowed, human networks, mainly of women, operated in a touching way, trying in the most unlikely ways to influence military judges, give courage to the condemned and take care of the prisoners' children.

In 1947, in the early days of the Greek civil war, a camp was set up on Makronisos for the rehabilitation of political prisoners, communists and leftist EAMites, so that they would ‘recover’ and join the ranks of the National Republican Greek League.
The Makronisos camp was, in effect, a choice of the British, at the outset of the Cold War, as an experimental action against similar situations around the world.
Makronissos has been etched on the collective unconscious of the Greeks for the unthinkable violence and the atrocious methods of reform used against the prisoners.
Its legend and the stories accompanying one of the most heated affairs in modern Greek history are still alive today.
