Love, passion, fear, pain, blood. All symbolized by the most intense of colors, red, because people who live with passion live against a red background. In 1967, a soldier in the Greek division leaves Cyprus, losing his teenage love forever. Forty-one years later, he learns that he left much more behind. A woman trapped in a dead marriage, but at the same time caught up in a passionate and forbidden love affair. A doomed love affair that will lead two brothers into a deadly conflict. When one foot steps into passion, the other is surely in the wrong. But only the dead are far from passion and error. The living are doomed to experience the supreme happiness of a love that is born, but also the deep pain left behind by a love that dies, or, even worse, a love that is forever forbidden and unfulfilled. Joy and tears, love and pain, are all painted on a red background!

However, fate, which usually acts independently of people's will, will involve them in major and comical adventures, starring not only themselves but also their children: Anna and Thanasis, Achilles' children, and Themis and Andria, Agamemnon's children. The two daughters feel deceived by a young, handsome actor, who is dating both of them at the same time, and in their attempt to take revenge on him, they will get involved in new romantic adventures, with their two sons as co-stars and with consequences that could bring their fathers to the brink of a stroke.
