Giorgis is the only son of the richest tseligas of a mountain village. Although he is considered a sought-after groom, he only has eyes for Droso, who reciprocates his feelings. The obstacle to their love is Giorgis' father. He is a cruel usurer who has confiscated the girl's fields. After a fight between father and son, the former falls dead. However, everyone believes that Droso killed him. Droso runs away from the village and takes refuge in the caves and cliffs, among the lads of the robber Zarvas, who helps to uncover Bournova's murderer. The murder has been committed by Maria, a noblewoman in love with Giorgis, who is subsequently arrested by the gendarmerie. Thus, Droso is now free to marry Giorgis.
Directed by Orestis Laskos, Lafina leans on a strong ensemble — Beata Asimakopoulou, Nikos Tzogias, Errikos Briollas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1962.
