Overview

The beautiful gypsy Marina, who has never known her father, decides to leave her mother and the gypsy camp and go to live in the city. With Katerina's help, she finds a job in a shop where she meets and falls in love with Petros, heir to the wealthy Alexandros Kanaris. The two lovers plan to marry, but Petros' father, who is naturally opposed to such a marriage, learns of Marina's origins. The great suffering begins when she tells Petros the secret, and he kicks her out of the house because he considers gypsies to be lowly. However, he does not know that Marina is pregnant with his child. Six years later, when Petros returns to Greece after completing his studies in cardiology, little Annoula—his daughter, whom Marina had left at Kanaris' doorstep—will be the reason her parents reunite.
