Giorikas and Kostikas, Pontian immigrants, return to Greece from Germany. Their goal is to understand why jokes are told about Pontians and who spreads them. They learn that some Pontians are responsible. Kostikas stops the circulation of the jokes until he realizes how sad life is without them, so he allows them to be circulated again.
