[1] Angelos, played by Nikos Kourkoulos, is the sole survivor of the sinking of the steam ship Christina.

When the enquiry reveals the improprieties of his company, the owner, Herodotus Richter, played by Spyros Kalogirou, takes his own life.

He puts a record on his record player, breaks an oil lantern, throws the fuel on the heap and lights up a cigarette burning his belongings in front of his neighbours, while the song of Stratos Dionysiou "Vrehei Fotia Stin Strata Mou" (It's raining fire in my way) plays in the background.

[3] The song "Vrehei Fotia Stin Strata Mou" (It's raining fire in my way) was composed by Mimis Plessas with lyrics by Lefteris Papadopoulos.

In a subsequent interview, Papadopoulos revealed that the writer Nikos Foskolos had asked him to write a song whose lyrics included the phrase "Kyma pikro stin plori mou" (A bitter wave on my bow).
