Plot outline
(This synopsis may contain spoilers)

Golfo is a poor orphaned young shepherdess who makes a living by working for Zissis, a rich, ruthless farmer. Her harsh life changes when she meets Tassos, a young and charming shepherd. The two of them fall in love and exchange vows of love and devotion. Golfo neglects Kitsos, the liege of the area, who persistently courts her, but Tassos indulges in flirting with Stavroula, Zissis' daughter and Kitsos' cousin, who tempts him with her fortune. Tassos decides to marry Stavroula. Golfo drives insane and curses Tassos, but the moment before their marriage she changes her mind and wishes the couple every happiness. Tassos is shaken by her love, and runs behind her full of remorse. When he finds her, it is already too late: in her despair, Golfo drank poison. Tassos decides to commit suicide by her side.
