Paul and Antonis arrive in Hydra to spend a few days of relaxation. They will rent rooms in the house of widow Froso, who lives with her daughter Marina and her son Mitsos. Paul gradually discovers that the family is a special case on the island, but he also discovers the melancholic beauty of Marina. Thus, when the time comes to leave, he decides to stay on the island for a few more days. Other men on the island, including Christos, are also in love with Marina.

A film that, apart from the amazing performances of the actors, showcases Greece of that era.
