A Greek sailor hopes to earn enough money to spend more time with his young bride in this romantic melodrama. He returns after 11 months at sea to find his grandfather has kicked her out of the house because she is pregnant and has ruined the family's name. She is taken in and cared for by the medicine woman Anastasia. When the husband learns his wife was a rape victim over eight months ago, he is ridiculed by friends and neighbors. He returns after a fling with a prostitute to help his wife deliver the baby. The beautifully photographed feature was filmed on the idyllic island of Skyros.
