At the decayed and disreputable neighbourhood of Troumba, next to the bustling port of Piraeus, the stories of five women working as prostitutes at a cheap, low-class brothel, are inextricably intertwined. Eleni, a reserved intellectual who grew up on the banks of Danube, has ended up in Greece after the war, while Mary, a virginal young woman, has embraced her new life after falling in love with an intriguing man. On the other hand, "Princess" Marina is secretly in love with a young student behind her relentless pimp's back; Anna protects her well-kept secret; Mirsini is the only one who sees the imminent change. Under those circumstances, the girls find shelter in Madam Pari's bordello just before the ban on brothels in Troumba.
