Within the war-hostile climate of the era two families meet in a monastery to make a wedding a secret. But that does not go unnoticed. A betrayal will lead thousands of Turkish soldiers out of the monastery. The abbot of the monastery, the monks and the members of the two families, grab arms and Siege begins. Along with her, a survival struggle and a circle of revelations are also beginning. The story unfolds on the big screen, through the discussion of two officers of the Greek army, at the Rupel Fort in March 1941.
"Siege" is part of Aratos Films' trilogy for 1821. We recall that the much-discussed "Exit 1826" by Vassilis Tsikaras was the first. It was the first film about 1821 after 46 years (Papaflessas, 1971). The Ministry of Education and the Institute of Educational Policy have described the film as "high-quality", in its historical, cultural and educational excellence.
