Storyline

On his deathbed, an impecunious but respectable father urges his three grown-up children to lead an honest life. Now, his older son, Nikos, a brilliant architecture student, has no other choice but to put his studies on hold, to provide for his quiet, kindly sister, Maria, and their ailing younger sister, Louisa. But, it's a jungle out there, and life can be cruel when you are inexperienced, jobless, and stone-broke. Just when all hope seemed lost, Nikos finally manages to land a job at the factory of a compassionate and benevolent industrialist, only to become, once more, a victim of fate, as the owner's son, Marios, has set his sights on seducing Maria at all costs. Who can protect the three orphans from Marios' sinful intentions?
