Thirty-five long years need to pass for Alekos and Lia to be together. During this period of time, various unpleasant events occur, and schemes are enacted to keep the two apart.

A young couple disturbs the peace of an elderly couple sitting on a garden bench. As the two couples make the introductions, the elderly couple begins to recount their sad story. Ioulia and Alekos met many years ago on a walk in the park and fell in love when Eva, Ioulia's sister, was still alive. Back then, the only ones who knew that Eva was dying were Ioulia and her parents. Sadly, everything could turn out well; however, for the sake of sick and irritable Eva, Alekos and Ioulia were forced to pose as friends, going as far as to sacrifice their love. Does anyone remember their song of pain?—Nick Riganas
