The window of social change in the mid-sixties was evidenced in films such as this, which shows the artistic influence of the nouvelle vague while it deals with the specific politics of class in Greece. A timid young English teacher is hired to tutor an upper-class girl destined to marry an English businessman. He is bombarded by the greed and cynicism of the nouveaux riches, yet finds himself falling in love with his pupil and making compromises to that end. "A love parable of the politics of dependence and of Greece's selling out to foreign interests. At the same time, the film criticizes the inability of petty-bourgeois intellectuals to confront, with political means, the conditions of their alienation" (Independent Center of Greek Cinema). Manthoulis launches his attack with lively editing, and the kind of associative-intellectual style, full of bittersweet irony, characteristic of films of the sixties everywhere.
