Ever more often, a former teacher and a former painter, who find themselves living together in a degraded hostel downtown, sneak out to participate in the demonstrations.

We follow them as they panic, get lost in their own city, are forced into begging, without losing their personal ideas and dignity. Upon their return, they are closer to their unattainable “Ithaca.”

In this political novel, the rebellious but old generation of the Polytechnic Uprising of Athens opens its difficult dialogue with today’s uprisings, with the notions of memory and revolution and with the utter disgrace of modern urban life, which is homelessness.
