Synopsis: Messolonghi, 1826.

After countless failed attempts to capture the city by force, the Ottoman army tightens its grip. Their fleet blocks the sea passages that had been the lifeline of the besieged Greeks. Starved and exhausted, the people of Messolonghi watch as the enemy turns its attention to the small islet of Klisova.

Its fall would mean complete Ottoman control of the lagoon—and the inevitable end of the siege. Facing 6,000 soldiers of the Sultan, a small garrison of only 160 men prepares to defend Klisova against impossible odds.

But in this battle, the outcome will not be determined by numbers…
