RINIO MISSIOU: EXILE
On 21 April 1967, the day of the coup in Greece, the police comes knocking on Rinio and Chronis Missios’s door. Chronis has already escaped, but Rinio is arrested and taken first to the racetrack and then to the barren island of Gyaros, together with thousands of other citizens considered ‘dangerous’ to the dictatorship. She remains in forced internal exile for three and a half years under preventive arrest, a period that will change her as a person.
