Giovanni, an Italian soldier, finds refuge in the home of two weary women, who are sisters. The Germans are looking for him, but one sister falls in love with him and hides him. The other, having lost two sons in the Greek-Italian war, betrays him to the Germans. Her sister, however, with the help of fellow villagers and rebels, saves him from the clutches of his pursuers. The woman who betrayed the Italian finds redemption by committing suicide.
