The End and the Beginning
1963, Russian. Directed by Manos Zacharias.
The story of Greek patriots' struggle against the Nazi invaders in May 1941, when German troops landed on the island of Crete. Fleeing the Germans, seven people, completely different in their views and personalities, come together: communist Memos, who has escaped from prison; military doctor Kimon, fleeing from the hospital; nurse Alika and nurse Krinjo, a gendarme; and two soldiers—a Greek and a New Zealander who has fallen behind.
