The story...

Joseph (Andreas Konstantinou), the protagonist and connecting link in the 12 standalone stories of the series, is a Greek-British introverted archaeologist who plans to propose to his partner and has scheduled a trip to his homeland, Crete. When she doesn't show up at the airport on the day of departure, Joseph returns to his ancestral land to take up a consulting position on an excavation and embarks on a solitary journey on the island, a dynamic journey into his inner world. Disheartened, he starts sending postcards to his ex-partner's home in London, recounting stories he hears or experiences in Crete. However, he doesn't know that the new tenant of the house, Ellie, develops feelings for the mysterious man... Can the deep thoughts of a stranger on paper make him lovable?

"Cartes Postales from Greece" is directed by the award-winning Giorgos Papavasileiou. The tv-adaptation was undertaken by Nikos Apeiranthitis, Alexandra Katsarou (Alexandra K*), Dora Masklavanou, and Panagiotis Christopoulos, in collaboration with the author. The composition of the original music and songs is by Minos Matsas. Pinelopi Valti is the set designer, and Marli Aliferi is the costume designer.

A portrait of Joseph (Andreas Konstantinou) is suddenly found hanging on a wall in a coffee house on the island and he begins to search for the artist. This is how he meets young Antigoni (Sofia Kokkali), a captain’s (Thanos Tokakis) wife and scion of an important family of the island, who lives in seclusion in a mansion with her strict mother-in-law (Sofia Seirli). The lonely wife spends her days painting, capturing the faces of the equally lonely residents of the small community where she was brought to live. The encounter between Joseph and Antigoni reminds them both of the bright side of life and entices them to do away with the ties that keep them captive, as they dare experience the impossible.
