The setting is WWII Greece – the island of Cephalonia to be exact – and the Italians are an occupying force. The story evolves as the young Captain Antonio Corelli falls in love with the daughter of the local doctor. At first resistant, Pelagia eventually succumbs to Correli’s charms, and they make plans to marry when the war is over.
