Plot

The story begins with Odysseas encountering police officers on a train as he returns home, only to be expelled due to his prior incarceration. During his journey back, he encounters a group of homeless individuals, known as Koligoi, seeking passage across a river that demarcates the boundary of his father's property. Hindered by obstacles created by his brother's men and a destroyed bridge, the homeless are prevented from crossing until Odysseas intervenes, facilitating their passage. At a church service atop the Meteora rocks, reminiscent of the biblical tale of the prodigal son, Odysseas reunites with his father amidst celebrations on the estate.
