Panagiotis and Giannis are two good friends, but also rivals in love. The first is a merchant and the second is a violinist; one is tall and slim, and the other is short and fat; one is bossy, the other one is mild. Bot make an inimitable comic couple, wandering in the Peloponnese, looking for a date tree that will prove the innocence or guilt of the wife of one of them and possibly love of the other. They are guided by an old photograph depicting Panagiotis’ wife, Maria, in the arms of Giannis, under a date tree. However, in the area of their search, there are no date trees.
