TEARS FOR ELECTRA
A beautiful young girl, Electra, has a car crash on the day of her mother’s wedding, gets seriously injured and undergoes surgery. During her recovery, she recollects the past, from the moment that her businessman father (Manos Katrakis), hired Giorgos as his driver. Giorgos, a former rally driver, is a ruthless but financially unsuccessful member of the smart set, and an Adonis in appearance. Hoping to get his hands on their fortune, he casts his net for Electra’s mother, taking her as his lover, which provokes her father’s death. When Electra recovers and is released from hospital, her only thought is of revenge. She distances herself from Charis (Lakis Komninos), her fiancé and seduces Giorgos, which, in turn, leads her mother to attempt suicide. Lina, however, finds out that Giorgos has tampered with the brakes of her daughter’s car and sacrifices her life to save Electra, who returns to Charis.
