A person, in the case of "Iphigenia" a girl, sacrifices part or even her whole ego to become a member of a new social ensemble and specifically of the social ensemble of her future husband. The film is inspired by the theater of the absurd and mainly by theatrical texts by Ionesco and Pinter but also by the original myth of Iphigenia which symbolizes sacrifice.

A man remembers his early years as a teenager, after being asked what he would do if he was 30 years younger.
Горстка людей, одетых в черное, с тяжелыми чемоданами и держа за руку детей, будто вышли из моря на неприветливо-пустынный, с заплатами луж, отеческий берег. Этот образ вечного изгнания и скитальчества, варьируясь, проходит лейтмотивом через весь фильм, в котором, переплелись история минувшего века, судьба греков и история любви с преградами и разлуками.
By the 14th century, the Byzantine Empire was, if not on the verge of actual collapse, at least seriously decadent and clearly on its last legs. The hungry wolves of Europe were preparing to dine on its corpse, and as a result the Byzantine army and its allies were constantly engaged in battles and skirmishes. In this story, a widow lives in the 14th-century Byzantine village of Doxobus with her son Xenos. She forms a relationship with a village elder, and when she gives birth to the elder’s son, her son from her previous marriage is sent to live in a monastery.
