Details

The idyllic beauty of Cephallonia in Greece is shattered by the invasion of Italian soldiers on the once peaceful island. Captain Antonio Morelli is an indestructible jovial type with a passion for the mandolin. At first, he alienates from the villagers, including Pelagia, the village doctor's daughter. Pelagia, a strong-willed woman with a good education, is initially offended by the Italian officer's behavior, but she gradually becomes sensitive to his charms when they are forced to share her father's home. When Pelagia's betrothed, a local fisherman, has joined the army, feelings between Antonio and Pelagia grow stronger. Her beauty and intelligence impress him. The beautiful surroundings and the zest for life that the village radiates make Antonio doubt the correctness of the war. Antonio is increasingly becoming a part of village life, but it will not stay that way. The front approaches and soon Antonio and Pelagia have to choose between their closeness to their country and their love for each other.
