  • Description: Postman Antonis (Orestis Makris) with Froso, his grumpy wife (Nelli Marselou) and his daughter Toula (Nelly Mavropoulou) live in a house with a yard in the district of Plaka, Athens. The same yard share Yagkos (Stefanos Stratigos), a young man who has an affair with Toula, and sensational Eva (Kaiti Belinda) who, after two marriages, is on the lookout for a third one to save her face and provide coverage for her rich lover that calls on her in the guise of the "Uncle" (Mimis Kokkinis). The mosaic of these diverse individuals suitably complements Katina (Nitsa Pappa), the landlady of the rooms that open out onto the yard, who also acts as a "go-between" in the seduction of poor girls. In her latter capacity, she has undertaken to "sell" Toula to bourgeois Yavrousis (Christos Tsaganeas) and marry Eva to Yagkos. In exchange for "uncle" getting him a job, Yagkos agrees to become engaged to Eva, and Toula, feeling betrayed and left out, accepts Katina's financial assistance for the abortion of Yagkos's child. The price to pay is her seduction by Yavrousis. When Antonis learns the truth, he thinks nothing other than embezzling third party money in order to save his daughter. But he loses his job and mars his reputation, which draws his family into a moral and financial deadlock. Toula follows the call of her destiny and marries Yavrousis, not out of love, but because he wants to help her father and Yavrousis is the only person apart from her father who has treated her right.

    53. TOULA’S PROBLEMS Yagkos sees Toula sitting by herself in the yard. She won’t talk to him. Yagkos tells her his reasons. Toula, aloof, won’t talk about her pure love, the kind of love he has never felt. He is not even worth being hated. While Yagkos mumbles some excuses apologetically, Eva turns up – she has noticed them despite Yagkos’ precautions to the contrary. Eva is mad with Toula and if Toula wants to have him back, Eva will settle with her. He pulls Yagkos off, as Katina tries to calm them down. When Toula is left alone with Katina, Antonis come along from work, exhausted. He leaves them behind to chat and is off to prepare something tasty and light for his daughter. Katina launches another attack. Her father is a good man, but unlucky. He is worth a sacrifice, now that he up to his ears in debt for her sake. Katina mentions Yavrousis, who is ready to go the distance: to him she is more than a mistress, and would even consider marrying her. Despite her initial objections, she doesn’t discard the idea. Katina walks off and Toula wipes her tears. Then Antonis comes along with the light meal he has prepared for her. Her sadness makes her suspect there is a love she keeps secret and so he resolves to find the suitor and talk to him about his daughter’s virtues. Toula bursts into tears and promises to tell him all about it when she has sorted things out for herself. She is very unhappy. Antonis stands up and walks off. (THE YAD)

Antonis’s response comes as a surprise to his friend. The old man implies that he intends to put an end to his life. Yagkos and Eva turn up. Antonis asks them over for a glass of wine. On her way out onto the yard, Toula sees the couple and struggles for the second time to suppress her painful surprise. They drink a toast and wish happiness to the bride and groom.

    58. YAVROUSIS WANTS TO HELP TOULA When Katina sees Toula going into the sitting-room, she says she was sure she would make the right choice. But the girl, baffled once again, replies that she doesn’t know what is right any more or what to choose. Yavrousis tells Katina to leave them alone and then asks Toula, in the manner of a real gentleman, how much money she needs and that he intends to give it to her with no strings attached. He explains he has no-one in world and that he has just been attracted to this innocent girl. He gives her a packet of banknotes, adding that he can offer more if necessary. He simply used Katina to get Toula close to him. (KATINA'S HOUSE)
    59. FROSO’S ROW WITH EVA Coming home from work with a load of clothes for washing, Froso becomes furious to see the couple Eva and Yagkos.

When she accuses Katina of making a whore out of young women, she steps up and explains that his daughter did that to save him from imprisonment and pay back the money he had embezzled, when he did all that to cover up her “disgrace” with Yagkos, apparently implying the abortion. Beside himself, Antonis is on at Yagkos who disgraced his daughter and in a rage he steps threateningly out into the yard. (KATINA'S HOUSE)
    61. YAVROUSIS WANTS TO MARRY TOULA Calling Yagkos a scoundrel, Antonis grabs Yagkos by the throat. First, Froso intervenes and then Toula begs her father, who eventually lets go and pulls himself together. Yagkos and Eva leave. Toula gets her father to sit down on a chair. He has calmed down after the violent display of rage. She says she was too ashamed to talk to him and that she had decided to commit suicide. He has sacrificed himself for his daughter and so his daughter will make a sacrifice to save her father’s reputation. Yavrousis politely breaks in and asks Antonis to let him pay his debt. He explains that his offer in no way implicates Toula, who could, nevertheless, become his wife out of her own free will. After Yavrousis has promised to make Toula happy, she tells him she has no objection, since he is the only person, apart from her father, who has been polite to her. Antonis gives her his blessings to marry. (THE YARD)
