1930s Andros, Greece. Dreaming of settling down, Orsa, a beautiful, dark-haired islander, falls under the spell of Lieutenant Spiros Maltabes, a handsome naval officer. But lively, free-spirited pipe-dreamer Moscha, Orsa's younger sister, yearns for freedom, bent on breaking the close-knit community's old-fashioned social patterns. Then, Mina, the girls' mother and the family's stern matriarch, decides to marry Orsa off to a man much more to her liking and not the man she loves. However, as one thing leads to another, an unforeseen complication threatens to break up the sacred family, pitting two sisters against each other in the name of love.—Nick Riganas
