Synopsis
In turn of the century Greece, a young girl falls for a dashing young man in their island village, but because the man's family asks for too much of a dowry, the girl's mother refuses to hand off her daughter. Risking shame and estrangement, the girl denies her mother's wishes and runs off with her lover, much to the evil chagrin of the local townsfolk. The film is both a careful analysis of old-world traditions and an indictment on Greece's modern sexist society.
