Mystika kai lathi

Kostas, a professor of philology, and Eleni are married, in love and happy. The only shadow in their happiness is that they have not yet had a child. Costas, secretly examining his wife, learns that he is sterile. There is no chance of having children. Terrified by the fact, he decides to hide the truth, even from his wife. His secret, along with his appointment in Ithaca, upsets the balance in their relationship. The change from Athens to the island, instead of restoring the couple's relationship as they had hoped, upsets her even more. Young people enter their lives, new secrets and successive mistakes from both of them, undermining their fragile relationship.
