October 1981 and the new decade is well and truly upon us. Angelos, now a soldier on leave, takes a walk in another Athens that moves to a very different beat. He is in shock, not only by what he is seeing around him but also by the stand he discovers his father has taken in all of this. The change takes him back to February 1981, a month that will forever remain indelible in the memory of the Greeks. Angelos lands in an era of radical socio-political change. Little Noni is now in primary school and seems to honor her grandmother's name, Dimitris and Nana are separated, Stelios is now extremely popular in the Ministry with everyone except his boss.
