- Following the death of her parents, Dionysia lives alone, with only a handful of people for company — and, above all, the cats in her courtyard and the songs she plays on her cassette recorder. Dressed in colourful clothes, she is always ready to open both her heart and her home to anyone who happens to pass by, welcoming them with a cup of Greek coffee. One day, she receives a visit from Tzortzis, a young man who does not live in the village. She quickly comes to trust him, and the two share a warm conversation; he has many questions for her. Then, suddenly, the village children violently burst into the house. Like a mob, filled with hatred and blinded by anger, they attack the gentle Dionysia, a woman who has never harmed anyone. They mock her and wound her, both physically and emotionally. Yet through her suffering, Dionysia is reborn. She manages to step back and look at her life from a distance, to face the truth of humanity head-on, and ultimately to forgive the children for what they have done. On her deathbed, she prays for them, hoping for the eternal salvation of their souls.
