Somewhere in the provinces - Stavros married Sophia twenty years ago. He wanted her, he won her and he prevailed over her like a tyrant. A fatalistic attitude on the part of the women which in essence doesn't change even when she catches Stavros messing around with their daughter Yota. Her lord and master manages once again, by his violent reaction, to terrify her and practically convince her to accept in silence the appaling crime that is being committed. The only person who perhaps provide some solution to the family drama is their son Nikos. And he tries. But faced with his savage father's brutal weapons, he is also forced to retreat at least for the time being. In disgust he seeks recourse in flight and leaves home. With noone to disturb him any more Stavros continues his incestious relationship with Yota until things - which now border on the tragic - come to a head. Exhausted physically, mentally and morally, the young girl decides her own "revolution". At her instigation her brother Nikos overcomes the reservations that led him far from their family problem and returns to inflict punishment and become the instrument of catharsis. One more patricide in rural Greece who for a short period of time will occupy the mass media and make the front pages of dailies.
