A Silver Coin on the Lips. At Philippi, Macedonia, an archeologist discovers an intact tomb with the remains of an officer from the Hellenistic era. The next day he leaves to look for the friends and fellow soldiers of his son, a twenty-year-old soldier who was burnt up during guard duty at an isolated military camp at the border. The archaeologist's lonely trip and his encounters cause him to think back to his father-son relationship.
The Last Dwarf Goose. A group of young ornithologists arrive at the delta of the Evros River in Thrace in order to get a close look at the refuge of the last dwarf goose. They manage to find the goose, but an unscrupulous poacher kills it. The peaceful and kind forest ranger who had accompanied them pays the poacher back in the same way.
Vietnam. A middle-aged man is depressed because his wife has left him, taking away his two children. He ends up getting drunk alone at Vietnam, a two-bit dive hidden out in the country. With no warning, he starts to break everything. Then he buys the place, and sends for a bulldozer. At dawn, while the buzuki players play in the middle of the field, he finishes destroying the place.
