Description
We are in a place that looks like a square in Fry, the capital of the island Kasos, the southernmost Greek island of the Dodecanese complex in the Aegean.

Two little girls have ridden a saddled donkey and a man helps them enjoy a short, safe ride on the animal's back. On a wall, there is a poster with the message "Greece of Greek Christians", a phrase associated with the junta dictatorship of the colonels who, then, ruled Greece.

Afterwards, the responsibility for the safety of the girls is taken over by two women while two boys, hit the donkey with a withe to force it move on. Two more posters on the wall of the house with the messages of the dictators "Long live the National Government" and "Greece never dies".

The girls' walk is over, they get off the donkey as the owners take the donkey away by beating it brutally.

On the plateau where we are, tourists walk, around the shops there are taverns and cafes, shots of the members of the filmmaker's family and propaganda posters of the dictators everywhere.
