Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
Madalena (Aliki Vouyoukiaki) is a tough seventeen-year-old who is forced to take on her father's ferry business after he dies. She has her many brothers and sisters to support, and there is no one else to do the job (her mother has also died). So she rallies her defenses and sets out to give her rival in the ferry business a run for his money. But at the same time, the rival's handsome son (Dimitris Papamichael) is starting to look better and better. Madalena refuses to acknowledge her feelings for him -- though how long she can sustain that denial is the question.
