A writer is going through a serious crisis, since neither his career nor his marriage are going well. His talent, and friends, seem to have abandoned him. The only one standing by his side is a girl from Africa, who has come to Greece to study, and, in order to make ends meet, she works as a maid in his home. Naive and kind, she manages to restore a happy atmosphere in the home.

The Greek Women Servants' Association is chaired by Despoina, who fights for the rights of the union's members, and in particular against Bigos, who seduces all the maids.
