Καλαμιές στον άνεμο

An elderly servant devotes himself to caring for three impoverished sisters after accidentally causing a past death while trying to help a fourth relative flee; his enduring guilt informs every action. The family’s secluded life becomes strained as a city-returned nephew brings new ideas and technology, exposing class tensions and generational divides. The servant pursues spiritual redemption through suffering and self-sacrifice. Combining realist attention to social structures and environment with lyrical, personified nature and inward psychological focus, the narrative examines duty, faith, the persistence of tradition, and the tensions unleashed by modernizing forces.
