Behind a wall of a central hospital in Athens, dozens of small suitcases were accidentally discovered. They contained the personal belongings of hundreds of patients who had died of tuberculosis in the hospital between 1945-75. Νo one had ever looked for them or claimed their remains. Through letters between patients and their relatives, archival material, the journey to find the descendants of the dead and meetings with doctors today, the documentary uncovers a story of grief and trauma, but also of love, hope and resilience in post-war Greece. For the first time after eighty years, living relatives are faced with undisclosed secrets and hidden truths.
