The Girl, the Priest, and the Devil

In Ottoman Greece, a motherless girl named Daphne leads a suffocating farmer's life. When her older brother dies after a short illness, her patriarch father curses God for leaving him with only a daughter.

Unable to pay the local priest for his son's burial, he compels Daphne to go to the village and beg for money. Daphne gets mocked and rejected by the villagers, and flees to the mountains, where she finds a gold pouch. She dares to dream -- this could be her way out.

But just before she's about to carry out her escape plan, the Devil pays her a visit. These lands belong to him. And pay- ment is due.
