The documentary follows the life of actress and politician Melina Mercouri in Greece and Paris.
When the military junta seized power in Greece in the late 1960s, Mercouri fought for the liberty
of her homeland from exile. The ruling junta revoked her citizenship and confiscated her property,
and the Orthodox Church wanted to excommunicate her. After the military dictatorship came to an end
in 1974, Melina returned to her homeland and stood as a socialist candidate for Piraeus in the elections.
She became Minister of Culture and worked passionately for her
country until she died of lung cancer in 1994. The documentary shows the many faces of Melina Mercouri
in pictures from her life and film clips.
