Nike

There was once a girl who, as a baby, was sent on exile to the Cyclades Islands; who, during the German occupation in Greece and the civil war that followed, saw her family divided in two opposing camps; whose father, “the heroic leader of the workers”, became overnight “the traitor of the labour class”. Although he never betrayed his ideals… There was once a girl who spent her whole adolescence undercover: no school, no friends…And when back to liberty, she fell deeply in love against her family’s will… Her name was Nike. Nike’s life is the life of all children who come to this world with a heavy burden, a burden they don’t deny, but who do not let it break them either. Nike’s people illustrate the History of Greece in the twentieth century.
