Nitsa Gazeles is a young Athenian girl from a good family – a sensitive creature with all the ardour of youth, the curiosity of innocent girlhood and the joy of life. She wants to be able to go out on her own, to go wherever she likes, to go around with whoever she likes and to come home at whatever time she likes. Nitsa goes contrary to the society of her day and we know that society, even if it is defeated and altered by people demanding change, takes its revenge on them.
