Plot: Aimilia, a young and relatively well-to-do woman, leads a rather schizophrenic existence. Every day, she gives piano lessons to the children at an orphanage, while at night she brings home a series of lovers whom she picks up at random and whom she kills while in a sexual frenzy. The film explains her behavior as the result of a traumatic childhood event when she witnessed her mother being murdered by Paris, the man whom her mother abused and humiliated. Nikos, a criminal hunted by the police, who goes into her house one night to hide a package of money, discovers her secret. The money is destined for "Mother", the mother of his girlfriend Kaiti, who assigns the hit-man Iosif to kill Nikos. The police suspect Aimilia, but she tries to make Nikos appear the real murderer of her victims. The latter visits her to get his money and, miraculously, Aimilia is cured of her murderous mania in his arms. Both of them, however, are murdered by Iosif, who is also killed soon thereafter by the policemen who have the house under surveillance.

When Keti has left, the prison guard starts reading Elli's diary, to find out what has brought Elli to end up in prison. Elli's problems begin the day her mother gets divorced, and her mother's young lover, Nikos, moves into their apartment. When Nikos tells Elli that he loves her furiously, and just pretends to love her mother, Elli is disgusted. Keti hears Elly screaming at Nikos, intervenes, and slaps Elli in her face. Elli packs her suitcase and leaves. A young man, Kostas, has fallen in love with her, but in vain. Elli is already in love with Yorgos, a guy who exploits women to obtain money from them for his obsessive gambling. After some weeks he is tired of Elli. To be able to rent a room, she starts selling her body to men she meets in restaurants. Kostas turns up, and they spend some lovely weeks together. When Kostas goes to Germany to continue his studies, Elli returns to her mother's home. Alone with Nikos in the apartment, Nikos tries to rape her. Elli gets hold of a paper knife, and stabs Nikos in his stomach. Without witnesses, who could confirm her story, Elli is sentenced to prison for homicide.

Genres: Drama,She lived in a trailer out eastern road
Her loneliness was a disease
But my daddy couldn't see it though
Her name was linda her smile was forced
And folks 'round town say she dressed like a divorce
My daddy had a son by her
'though she wasn't supposed to be able
I was eight years old when they told me 'round the table
I looked at my daddy, he looked to the ground
I guessed that we'd be stickin' round ahwile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in being mean
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream
Got called to the principal's office
Did I do something wrong?
Doctor on the telephone said,
"congratulations, you've got a baby brother born."
Got sent to a psychiatrist in case I resented their child.
I was bitter in my anguish but my manner was mild.
My daddy got excommunicated from the mormon church.
Guess an illegitimate son in god's eye has no worth
He tried to stick around but he flew the coop in spring.
He loved that baby just not linda it seemed
But still I know we'd be stickin' round awhile
Might as well smile cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.
So linda got remarried now my brother called that new man "dad"
But it didn't last long I hear his temper was bad
So she said that we could see him on every other saturday.
We all were shocked when he called my daddy "uncle"
She said it was better that way.
They tried to get back together but it was off and on
One day she disappeared, I hear to oregon.
I haven't seen him since. I guess I'm supposed to forget.
That he was my brother too and not just their legal mess
I thought that we'd be stickin' 'round awhile
Might as well smile 'cause there's no point in bein' mean.
I guess that's just what you get when you forget to dream.
This song is for nikos wherever you may be
I know things were tough but you're okay by me
And your momma ain't a bad person, my daddy's ain't no fool
Sometimes parents just need forgiving too.
Ps, I love you, your sister jewel.
