Young Alexandra arrives as a "foster daughter" in the household of a world-renowned composer, and finds herself entirely bound to his fate as mentor, father figure and master of her life. Their forbidden relationship is cut short by the 1967 coup; the child they have together is placed in an institution, his birth certificate marked "illegitimate." Guilt, flight and silence follow for years, until, gravely ill, she decides to reveal everything in a taped confession, leaving behind a soul's testimony that exposes a broader repressive society. Based on the book by acclaimed author Gogo Fakou-Theodoraki.
