The documentary narrates the holocaust of eight villages in Rethymnon, Crete, on 22 August 1944, by Nazi occupation forces, during which 164 inhabitants where executed in retaliation for the abduction of German General Karl Heinrich Kreipe. The executions and the holocaust occurred simultaneously in all eight settlements. Not one stone was left upon another. All properties were ravaged by the Nazis.
