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:
"Chios... the Island that is blessed"
Episode 12
We continue our exploration of Chios in this episode as well, as we come to a realisation. Every location can hide an unexpected surprise. The difference with Chios is that the island of Chios is a surprise in its entirety. It is as if God has blessed Chios. Its blooming gardens, the citrus orchards in Kampos and the aromas of the mastic, make you dizzy. Impressive mosaics and geometric shapes, deserted villages of the 13th century take you back in time. A different world unfolds before us every hour we spend on the island, and together with the residents of Chios, we get find out about their daily life.
