"Sunday at the Village Again": a brand new take on the traditional show.
The protagonist is still the “village”, the people who inhabit it, their lives, the way they reproduce their customs and traditions in their everyday life, everything they have achieved in time, and everything they dream of. The glorious moments but also the hard times, the manners and customs, the songs and the celebrations, the relationship with the natural environment, and the way that this affects the economy of the place and the souls of the inhabitants.
The village is not just a romantic view of life, it is a living cell that adapts to new conditions. With imagination, ingenuity, a sense of humor, high aesthetics, emotion, and contemporary television language, we pin down and record the relationship of the old with the new, from yesterday to tomorrow and from one end of Greece to the other.
Today:
«Avithos of Achaea»
Episode 15
Sunday at the village again, in Avithos, Achaea. The older ones call it Akoli. The name of the village is due to its shallow seas. When was the village created, and which natural disaster was the reason for the creation of a new seaside settlement? The economy of Avythos, as well as the wider region, is based on raisins; they call it the "black gold".
A tour of the Raisin Museum is a journey through time. Kostis meets the "Achaeans", the local association, and discovers beautiful stories about their music, songs, feasts and of course their customs and traditions. "Oraia Aigiotissa", for example, is a song that encapsulates the musical culture of the place. As well as "Na ‘moun elia sta Salona kai klima sti Vostitsa".
We balance between yesterday and today, through the narratives of Foteini and Eleni; two people, two eras. Kostis then visits the "Workshop of Musical Instruments" in Aigio, with the rare collection of Dionysis Papadimitriou. Pinelopi tells us about the theater group and Giorgos shows us around the sports facilities of the village. In the Taxiarches Monastery we meet priests Ierotheos and Gervasios. Finally, the women of Avythos cook and tell delicious stories about their feasts, tastes, celebrations and everyday life.
