With Greece about to join the EEC, the folks in a village are split: the right-wing president, Nomass, is an ardent supporter of accession, the left-wing secretary Leonidas is categorically opposed, and the socialist Michalis has some doubts. In addition to their common concerns, they are also preoccupied with the charms of the voluptuous and provocative widow Margarita. However, when they go down to Athens to sell their harvest and try to get decent prices for their oranges, they find that all the authorities are mocking them. The farmers find them sticks.
