the long version

"Thanos Vlekas is a young farmer struggling to improve himself despite the derision of his widowed mother, who considers him incapable of bearing arms for his country. She prefers instead her ambitious and brave brigand son, Tassos, whose heroism and resistance to authority embody the virtues that helped Greece attain its freedom in 1832.
