A series of 12 original half-hour documentaries, presenting traditional arts and techniques in the 21st century, filmed in various parts of Greece. The young protagonist Christos Zacharof travels from Corfu and Paramythia to Lesvos and Patmos, Geraki, Laconia and Lagkadia, Arcadia, to Alexandroupoli and the villages in the Rhodope mountains, places where economically viable traditional professions are still practiced, most of which are included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.
Christos attempts to learn the secrets of marble craftsmanship, wooden shipbuilding, silversmithing, or knitting in the places where they are practiced, working alongside the craftsmen. Along with Christos, the viewer of the documentary also experiences the struggle, difficulties, and peculiarities of each art!

Stivani is an integral part of the Cretan traditional costume. But what is impressive is that they are still worn as industrious boots in the countryside, but also at formal social events. What exactly happens to the stivani and what makes them special? In this episode of “Meet the Craftsmen”, Hera visits Polychronis Koniou's workshop. He is a third-generation stivani craftsman from Anogeia, who insists on making stivani in the traditional way and for every occasion. Along with Hera, the viewer will watch some of the dozens of steps in the making of stivani; admire the patience of the shoemaker; discover the secret behind their proverbial resilience; and get to know the history from the Venetian era until today!
