"It looks like a dollhouse," concluded Areti when she saw their new home. Their first life had definitively ended, and that was something they found hard to accept. It was not easy to accept that they had lost their parents, their home, their homeland. Sometimes they believed it was all a dream: they lived inside a theater, with a woman they did not know, Domna, who claimed to be their mother; their home was now a viewing box two by three at most, and even their dreams and nightmares got mixed up with those of the other tenants and with the shadows that roamed freely in the corridors.

Perhaps that is why Areti decides to live inside a trunk, until one day she unexpectedly disappears. Drosos knows that his sister did not like dollhouses at all. However, she enjoyed being carried away by the wind without fearing that she would get lost, as it always led her back by the scent of the rose bushes of their home. But there are no rose bushes anywhere inside the dollhouse. So she begins her search with the help of Savvas, who has become a lackey in the market to survive.

In the effort to find Areti, Evdoxia will also play an important role, who every day sews and unsews her wedding veil, as well as uncle Yordanis with his small canon and Lenia with her enchanting voice, who hides her shorn head under a scarf. And perhaps above all, the most important role will be played by Ariel, that ethereal sprite from Shakespeare's play The Tempest; since when you live in a theater, anything is possible, and life ultimately has many faces.
