On their first encounter in a field, the shepherd approaches Annabel wanting to give her some almonds but scared of his rustic and rough appearance she misunderstands his intentions and runs away. Soon, he is found in prison accused of the supposed rape of Annabel. She regrets overreacting and tries to persuade the authorities to release him. Gradually, they fall in love and after being released from prison he follows her to Athens but she must return home and it seems that their innocent love doesn't have a future.{{cite web|title=Girls in the Sun|url=http://www.tainiothiki.gr/v2/lang_en/filmography/view/1/1250/|publisher=tainiothiki.gr|accessdate=13 March 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304052554/http://www.tainiothiki.gr/v2/lang_en/filmography/view/1/1250/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=Κορίτσια στον ήλιο |url=http://entertainment.in.gr/html/ent/795/ent_tv_show.2625795.asp |publisher=entertainment.in.gr |accessdate=13 March 2015 |language=Greek |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402123641/http://entertainment.in.gr/html/ent/795/ent_tv_show.2625795.asp |archivedate=2 April 2015 }}
