This is one of the many variations on the Romeo and Juliet myth, in which young love reunites two children, Dimitris and Myrto, whose families hate each other to death.

Dimitris does not seek any revenge and his interest in Myrto is sincere and guileless. The feeling is mutual, while the passions and hatreds of the past fade away under the blue sky and the hot sun...

I am innocent (1960)
At first there was the theatrical adaptation, by Manolis Skouloudis, of the legendary Dreyfus Affair (an adaptation based on the novel by Emile Zola). It was then transferred to the cinema. The subject: the early 20th century and the military establishment, with the help of a money-loving and womanizing junior officer (Alekos Alexandrakis), accuses Captain Alfred Dreyfus (Dimitris Myrat) of treason, because he allegedly handed over secrets to the Germans. After a mock trial, where expediency prevailed, Dreyfus was convicted and imprisoned. However, Emile Zola firmly believes in his innocence and, through the press, fights a brave and effective battle, which will lead to the uncovering of the conspiracy and the restoration of the honor of the unjustly slandered captain.
