- A husband working in West Germany pays a visit back home to his village in Epirus and is murdered by his wife and her married lover.
- A woman murders her husband, upon his return home after a long absence, with the complicity of the lover who has relieved her loneliness. Costas Ghoussis, an emigrant recently returned to his native country, is coming back from the fields, a shovel on his shoulder. He pushes open the garden gate in front of his house and calls his wife: Eleni! She does not answer; the reason: she is hidden behind the door of the kitchen with another man, Christos, a gamekeeper, the lover that she took during her husband's absence. Just as Costas crosses the threshold he is attacked and strangled. Despite their precautions, a relative of the victim suspects them and alerts the police. The criminals confess their crime. The reconstruction is that of the examining magistrate, whose inquiries are interspersed with sequences of the crime - although the actual murder is never shown - and with a social documentary which a TV unit (including the director himself) is making about the crime and the village.—Andreas Varagoulis
- Mountainous Tymphaea, Epirus, Greece. After years of back-breaking work as a Gastarbeiter in West Germany, Kostas returns home: a cold, rain-swept, nearly abandoned village of widows and decrepit stone houses. But there, a cruel fate awaits the unsuspecting husband, who meets his end at the hands of pitiless wife Eleni and her heartless lover Christos. However, as the infernal couple tries to cover up their tracks, before long, they raise suspicion about Kostas' unaccountable disappearance. Now, as hair-raising flashbacks chronicle the hideous crime, weaving an intricate web of re-enactments, the police and the investigating magistrate have the final say. What happened that fateful night?—Nick Riganas
