Historical documentary, on the life and work of the great Greek politician who contributed decisively to the shaping of the physiognomy of modern Greece. Venizelos came to Athens in 1909, after the Goudios Movement, at the invitation of the Military Association and, upon assuming the prime ministership, clashed with the palace. The film follows the man's path, through recorded testimonies (cinematic newsreels, photographs, newspapers), from his beginnings in Mournies, Crete, until his death.

Fourtounakis’ daughter, Katerinio, is forced to get engaged with a brutal Cretan, Skandalakis. But the return of Manousos Vrontakis from Athens and his flirtation with the girl leads to a great romance, without them knowing that they belong to families who are longstanding enemies.
