Barefoot Heroes

Takis, Stavroula, Alegra, Pepo, Aris, Helen, Hektor, Angelica, and Luna live in Thessaloniki during the dark times of the German Occupation. In a city where the German boot is actively trying to humiliate everything from one corner to the other, they are trying to survive and resist, at the same time, Nazism. They have experiences that mark them and many a times they battle to escape death which is all around them. Amidst all the big historical events, hopeless romances are flourishing, brotherly friendships, altruistic actions, and returns of past debts. Sometimes it is the die of luck that decides who lives and who dies. “Barefoot Heroes” is above all the story of ordinary, everyday people who have acquired the stature of all those who write history with their own actions.
