Person-centred, travel documentary with Ina Tarantou.
Ina Tarantou travels and gets a view of the "Alterlife". The exact location is not important. The journey becomes the destination and life is experienced through the eyes of the persons she meets. Stories of people whose actions manifest optimism, strength and hope. Through their "eyes" we see life, history and the beauties of our country. People who, despite the adversities, never gave up, took risks and developed new businesses, brought to light unexploited parts of the Greek landscape, and revived local products.
Further or closer to the urban centres, each story lets us in with its own beauty to another side of the Greek landscape, Greek society and Greek reality. Sometimes looking to the future, other times tracing back the deep roots of the past. It is the conveyance of the feeling of...breathlessness. Up on the castle of Skyros, on the top of Mt. Helmos counting the stars, to the playing of the philharmonic orchestras in the alleyways of Corfu at Easter, reaching down to the Cavo D'oro, walking on a tightrope over the gorge of the Aoos river in Konitsa.
Because life is even more beautiful, when you see the Alterlife!
Today:
"Alterlife at the Villages of Karpenisi"
Episode 8
Our trip bring us to the villages of Karpenisi, built on the slopes of proud-standing mountains, in the lush of the green, to meet bold and honest people. People who have taught us in their way of life that there are no difficult questions in life, only difficult answers.
And these answers become more difficult, when we talk about the meaning of life. Life answers that we need to do away with the interference of external events, in order to harken to our desires and follow them through. With boldness and determination. We met these people in the villages of Karpenisi, people who have harkened to their truths and followed them through.
