"Kokkinos Kyklos" is a series of standalone episodes based on crimes that shocked public opinion. However, the stories have been altered so that neither the people nor the situations are recognizable. The heroes of the series are sometimes the perpetrators and sometimes the victims, and their stories extend from the boundaries of drama to those of thriller. How far do these stories deviate from the truth? As much as people’s opinions differ amongst themselves, since each of us has their own personal truth. For this reason, the series doesn't simply aim to recreate a story or re-imagine characters. It doesn’t only want to entertain. It simultaneously attempts to make the viewer think by presenting another perspective – the perspective of one of the heroes of the story, who after much consideration is chosen as the central hero of the episode.

At first there was the theatrical adaptation, by Manolis Skouloudis, of the legendary Dreyfus Affair (an adaptation based on the novel by Emile Zola). It was then transferred to the cinema. The subject: the early 20th century and the military establishment, with the help of a money-loving and womanizing junior officer (Alekos Alexandrakis), accuses Captain Alfred Dreyfus (Dimitris Myrat) of treason, because he allegedly handed over secrets to the Germans. After a mock trial, where expediency prevailed, Dreyfus was convicted and imprisoned. However, Emile Zola firmly believes in his innocence and, through the press, fights a brave and effective battle, which will lead to the uncovering of the conspiracy and the restoration of the honor of the unjustly slandered captain.
