Based on Alexandros Papadiamantis’ novella, the film tells the story of Frangoyiannou,  a poor woman, mother & grandmother. She kills female babies, 5 in total, thus killing herself - especially when she kills her granddaughter who was given her name-. Thus, she is ‘rebelling’ against the unjust fate that life and society reserved for her. This is her way of sparing children the inevitable suffering in life. Her mind is deranged, due to her troubled life. Being pursued by the police, she perishes in the sea.
