The episode traces Ritsos’s life through the Nazi occupation and the Greek Resistance, his persecution, and his years in exile on Lemnos, Makronisos, and Agios Efstratios. Through “Romiosini,” “The Lady of the Vineyards,” and “The Smoked Pot,” the episode explores how his poetry gave voice to the struggle for human dignity and freedom.
