The episodes of the documentary series visit areas whose roots trace back to the depths of history. Their modern image is unique because they combine their stone traditional presence with the beauty of untouched mountainous landscapes.
Settlements perched on steep slopes overlook ravines and gorges like eyries in the rugged terrain. The undulations of the mountain ranges fade into the horizon in a dreamy combination of ruggedness and primordial harmony.
Images of unprecedented beauty, like folk paintings embroidered on pine-covered slopes and magnificent plateaus. Areas like the historic Dimitsana, the silver-gold-bearing Stemnitsa, the Koryschades and Viniani, with their more recent historical presence in the resistance against fascist Germany, the wonderful "Balkans" of Evrytania, as the villages of Stefani, Sella, Miliá, and Fidákia are called, the ruined Marathias, the beautiful stone bridges of Evrytania, compose delightful images and are approached with a deeper exploration of cultural and historical continuity.

The Virgin Mary of the Rock, a holy place of worship, guards the small town of Nemea and is known to have supported the 1821 Struggle for Independence. Near it, Dervenakia, the place where the resourceful Old Man of Morias destroyed the army of Dramalis. Today these passages are quiet, in no way reminiscent of those old times of restlessness.
