It depicts the turbulent period through major events like the Goudi movement, which brought Venizelos to power, his disagreements with the King about Greece's involvement in World War I, and his departure from politics after losing the 1920 elections, a defeat that happened at the same time as the Asia Minor disaster. The film explores both the personal life of this compelling leader and the political and social conditions that defined Greece during these important years.
