Plot Summary

To seek a better future--and, hopefully, a bigger and more generous audience--the poor portable barrel piano players, Pavlaras and Petrakis, leave Athens to attend an open fair somewhere in the rugged Greek province. However, instead of success, the two compassionate artists will stumble upon Keti--an affluent but desperate runaway girl--intent on escaping a much-despised arranged marriage. Keti's father offers a tempting and totally gratifying reward to anyone who finds the young fugitive; nevertheless, will Pavlaras and Petrakis forsake their beliefs for the sake of money?
