Menios, a womanizer with many conquests, finally settles down to marry Sula. Though friends mockingly call him “small Gkomenio”, he cannot live up to the Gannet’s reputation, even after the honeymoon. Pressured by his mother’s wish for a grandchild, he retreats to his uncle’s monastery and becomes a stylite monk. There, by divine grace, women seek his blessing.
