Shortly after the Gorgopotamos bridge was blown up, Loukas and Christoforos, two Cypriot students studying in Athens and staying at Kyra-Anthi's house, decide to join the Greek army and try to escape to the Middle East. With the help of Papa-Sinisios and a cabaret singer, they set off with other patriots for the coast of Asia Minor, but off the coast of Samos they encounter a German frigate and Loukas is lost at sea. The bad news reaches Cyprus and plunges his beloved Aphrodite into grief. Aphrodite's father decides to marry her off to Telis. At the end of the war, Loukas, who had been rescued, returns to the island and claims Aphrodite, but her father forces him to write to her saying that he does not love her. Aphrodite continues to love him, and Telis is forced to step aside, leaving her free to be with her beloved.
