Adaptation moderne des Bacchantes d'Euripide. Un moderne Penthée célèbre son anniversaire. Cependant, il hallucine et ce qu'il voit finit par lui faire douter de sa propre santé mentale. Dionysos est absent en tant que personnage. Il est incarné par le film lui-même dont les scènes d'hallucinations et le montage achronologique évoquent la façon dont un moderne Penthée est rendu fou par le dieu. Le film refuse toute forme de narration.

This musical drama sweeps through a turbulent 40 years in popular singer Marika's (Sotiria Leonardou) life – and in the history of Greece – starting with the singer's birth in Smyrna, Turkey in 1917. Marika was deported to Greece along with all the other Greeks in Smyrna when she was seven years old, and a few years later, her parents started a career as a musician and a singer in a nightclub/bar. In the short space of one decade, Marika witnesses her father murder her mother, runs away from home, has a baby, and comes back to the nightclub to sing in an act with a childhood friend and a bouzouki player, Babis. Success finally comes at the expense of the suicide of another female singer at the club (named Rosa), but then Marika's childhood friend is exiled for political reasons, and she and Babis leave for other venues. Although Ninou carries a torch for Babis, their relationship never seems to work out, and after many years and World War II go by, she sends her daughter away to a convent school and goes on a tour in America. She then returns to Greece to find herself supplanted by a younger singer named Matina who has caught the attention Babis. Marika eventually dies in an accident during Mardi Gras and is buried by the people she sang with as they sing in her memory at the cemetery.
