the mother's amulet 1965 Directed by Errikos Thalassinos Το φυλαχτό της μάνας

Vera Kontaxis (Martha Vourtsi), a wife and mother whose husband dies, is forced - in order to feed her son - to leave him in someone else's hands (her godmother, who had raised her from childhood) and leaves with a close friend (Despina Stylianopoulou) for Australia, to find work there as factory workers. Vera's prospect is to return some years later and take the child back from her godmother, to raise it a little better, having made a certain compote in Australia.
