The hell that came to be known as "Jedi Kule", i.e. Seven Towers, was the symbol of terror for thousands of criminal and political prisoners, who were imprisoned in its humid chambers. The show presents the written and unwritten laws of the prison that were determined by the prison guards as well as the prisoners. Despite the strict security measures that were always in place in the prison, very few managed to escape. The two who managed to escape in a novel way were the former general secretary of the KKE Nikos Zachariadis and the robber Tzatzas. Christos Vassilopoulos performs an autopsy on the so-called "usual place of execution", that is, the area outside the walls, where countless condemned men were shot, either for the crimes they committed or for their political opinions. Among those who received the fire of the firing squads and the free shots, were the accused as "dragon of the Sheikh" Aristides Pagratidis and the Nazi butcher of Crete and Macedonia Fritz Schubert.
