Provocation

Aggelos is getting ready to leave for Australia. In Piraeus he meets a girl who falls in love with him. This new acquaintance strongly reminds him of his old lover. Much to his disappointment, sad-eyed Aggelos summons up his strength to leave forever behind his island, Hydra, and his beloved childhood sweetheart, Irini, after a dead-end conversation with her pharmacist father. Bent on starting afresh in far-off Australia, Aggelos has a chance encounter with the beautiful heiress Isavella, the seductive daughter of the wealthy shipowner, Rosie Roubesi, and mesmerised by her effortless charm, falls for her. Now, more and more, the memory of raven-haired Irini, Aggelos' first true love, starts to fade away, despite their vows of eternal devotion. But, is it true that love is above all? —Nick Riganas
