Fanouris Skarvetsos, an industrious carpenter and a good-natured paterfamilias who is struggling to make ends meet, is his older sister Katina's only hope to finally get married.

At last, now Fanouris can pay the sum he had promised as a dowry to his future brother-in-law, Solon; however, is John willing to help?
