"When I grow up, I don't know what I will want to do, I may like to become a writer and write stories. I may want to become a doctor. I may be lucky... To find the medicine that will drive away bullets, hunger, wild eyes."

To construct a story or many different and incompatible stories about yourself and the world. There is nothing more true than these invented life stories.

Eurydice Mathaiou was born on April 19, 1937. The move is the true story of her life, as she managed to recreate it in her memory one night in 2019: after the war, she loses her little sister to a stray bullet, at the age of sixteen in a kiosk she makes love for the first time, her mother listens to Tennessee Williams on the radio, an exiled man is in love with her father, later a foreign baby in Istanbul becomes hers along with a stolen family album, a cat, Carlota, is indifferent to the dead children in the Aegean Sea.

I age, I remember, I long, I invent, I repair the gaps in memory, I discover. I am born again.

Eurydice fulfills her childhood dream shortly before the end.
