(1) 4-6 A Nazi colonel moves into the house of Petros, twelve, and Zola, fifteen. Zola, defiant, coordinates distribution of secret messages; Petros, under cover of feigned play, assists the resistance fighter hiding in the family's well. Akila Couloumbis's memories come alive with details of Greek village life, an authentic stage for vivid characters who must navigate conflicting loyalties to establish viable wartime roles.
