Description

The days of May 1936 in Thessaloniki and the events that led to the bloody clashes between the tobacco workers and the army are described in this film in a clear way. The people are the protagonists, and the narrative does not insist on drama or exaggeration. Of particular importance is also the presentation of the way in which the country was led, through a specific plan, to the dictatorship of Metaxas, on August 4, 1936.
