Set against the backdrop of a wandering troupe's tour, the film tells a flashback about the history from the autocratic rule of General Metasax in Greece in 1939 to the right-wing general of Papagos in 1952. Every time the wandering entertainers perform the historical drama "Shepherd Girl Golf" is interrupted by political events, thus witnessing the process of historical evolution, at the same time, this becomes the material for the troupe to add realistic content to the next performance. Through their performances in various parts of Greece, the film reflects the unforgettable years in Greek history with what they have seen and heard. At the beginning and end of the film, the actors of the wandering troupe stand in front of the railway station. In the words of Angelopoulos, this is a "family photo", the end of saying goodbye to the past, but also the beginning of a new history, as long as there is someone. The drama of history begins forever. Author: kavkalu
