Published in the Greek language in 1993 by ESTIA one of Greece’s oldest and most prestigious Publishing Houses.

The story of an encounter on the shores of an island in the Mediterranean.

A stranger meets a woman, Erminia, after she invites him to stay in her remote house by the sea having witnessed through her window his fainting on the beach; only to realize soon after he recovers that he is kept captive in her house.

The protagonists of this strange relationship submerge into a world of contradictions moving away from the conventions distinguishing myth from reality, the past or the future. Is this a suspense story or the decoding of the “other” switching into the the search for one self’s?
