Η ιστορία ενός ανθρώπου που δεν ήθελε να είναι άνθρωπος

Through a series of introspective monologues and vivid encounters, the protagonist navigates the complexities of desire, shame, and the longing for acceptance. Set against the backdrop of post-war Greece, the narrative explores themes of alienation, the struggle for self-realization, and the quest for freedom in a rigidly structured society.
