Poliorkia

The film is based on true events from March 1822, focusing on the siege of a monastery where two families gather to secretly celebrate a wedding. As tensions rise, betrayal leads to an overwhelming Turkish assault on the monastery. The abbot, monks, and the families must defend themselves, igniting a fierce struggle for survival.

The narrative also weaves in a parallel story set in March 1941, where two Greek army officers at the Roupel Fortress confront similar challenges just before the German invasion. This dual timeline emphasizes the cyclical nature of history and the repeated struggles faced by individuals in times of conflict.
