Entrusted with the dangerous task of sabotaging the ammunition depots of the Germans, Leonidas, a brave officer of the Greek Army, secretly arrives in Nazi-occupied Lesvos. To stay under the radar, Leonidas seeks shelter in an Orthodox monastery, posing as a monk. However, the Germans are already on to the saboteur, and dispatch Elsa, a despicable Nazi collaborator and spy, to thwart Leonidas' plans. Now, there is no turning back, and the monks' fate rests in Leonidas' hands. Can the selfless patriots carry out their life-or-death mission? —Nick Riganas
