Summer The magical time of children. Sea, play, exploration and endless nights with magical stories under the stars.
A group of children in Lamagari, Samos, will experience an adventure that will change their lives forever. The Metaxas dictatorship on August 4, 1936, will lead the children to take part in secret missions to help Melia and Myrto’s cousin, Nikos, who is a student and is in danger of prison. Nikos hides in the Mill with the broken wing until he can escape to Spain, which is in the midst of a civil war, and fight for the Republic. However, no matter how difficult things are, the children have the help of a tiger that is in a display case in the living room of Melia and Myrto’s house. Kaplani – as they call the tiger in Samos – has the ability to come alive through the stories that Nikos tells them and, when necessary, in his own magical way, takes part in the children’s difficult missions, helping and protecting them.
