The Island of Chios, 1960. Sudden death of the rural guard prompts the local council at Tholopotami to pressure the district agronomist into appointing a new name for the post. Rural guards available refuse to move to Tholopotami owing to the bad reputation of the place and to the fact that their fellow guard died at his post. When the municipality reiterates the request and offers financial incentive, four volunteers are ready for the position. The agronomist appoints and then dismisses one after the other, for all fail at their mission.
