It is the early 20th century on a dystopian Greek island. Hadoula, a widow who lost her husband, loannis Fragkos, at a young age, is a woman who has learned how to survive in a male-dominated and extremely patriarchal society. Hadoula carries a difficult burden within her. Like a baton passed on to her from her mother, and the generations before her, she is meant to accept the belittling and degradation of women. Hadoula reacts. Her personal, internal revolution soon comes forth. The victims of her outburst are the little girls of the island, whom she sets free from the social and economic burden that their existence entails by taking their lives. Her actions will bring her face to face with the law. She leaves her home and escapes to her refuge, nature. But as much as her faith and morals dictate that she did the right thing, her trans-generational trauma follows her everywhere. And the end comes as redemption.

Derrière des portes closes, une histoire universelle : celle d’un peuple emprisonné dans sa dette colossale. L’arbitraire de l’austérité imposée prime sur l’humanité et la compassion. Une histoire où chacun joue sa partition, où les personnages ne sont ni bons ni diaboliques, mais mûs par leurs intérêts. Un piège asphyxiant et des moyens de pression sur nos héros pour les diviser. Une tragédie grecque des temps modernes.
