It is the third film in a row of the type that much later on was called "fustanella (Greek kilt)", following Gkolfo by Bachatoris (1914) and Astero by Gaziadis (1929). It is based on the successful theatrical play (rhyming pastoral romance) by Dimitrios Koromilas, who draws his inspiration from a poem by Giannis Zalokostas "I fell in love with a shepherdess"...
On the verdant slopes of the Vardousia Mountains, in the small village of mid-nineteenth-century Artotina, Phocis, the wide-eyed sheep-herder, Mitros, experiences the intoxicating effect of first love, and with it, the despair of rejection. As the years swiftly pass by, a now wealthy, and self-assured Mitros returns to his hometown, and by a twist of fate, saves from certain death the inexperienced herder, Liakos, the secret beau of fair Kroustallo. Before long, a precious golden cross--an innocent token of Mitros' appreciation to the young lady--will set the stage for blind jealousy, bitter confrontation, and piteous heartbreak, as a wine-addled Liakos, and the gleaming blade in his hand, drive Kroustallo into the arms of the prosperous antagonist. Will this regretful incident separate forever the star-crossed lovers, or is this the prelude to true love?
