About the film

Vassil and his friend Nikola are Macedonians born in Greece. In 1948, during the Greek Civil War Vassil, Nikola and 28 thousand children, Greek and Macedonian, were taken from their villages and their mothers by the communist-led Democratic Army and raised in orphanages in Eastern Europe. Most of the Macedonian children never saw their mothers or their homeland again. Years later the ‘children’ mark the anniversary of their journey. They dance and sing and talk movingly of their feelings of identity and of their villages. The Greek civil war has faded into history, but the Macedonian ‘children’ are its forgotten victims.
