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!

"Silversmithing in Stemnitsa, Gortynia - Tradition and Future" [With English Subtitles]
Episode 10
The inhabitants of Stemnitsa, so isolated that they were formerly in the forest, without livestock and land to cultivate, had developed the art of silversmithing. However, most of the craftsmen have left the village to open their workshops elsewhere. In this episode of “Meet the Craftsmen”, Hera visits Stemnitsa of Gortynia and discovers how a retired silversmith inspired an entire generation of Stemnitsians who, in turn, teach the art of silversmithing to children from all over Greece. Together with Hera, the viewer will watch how a silver ring is created, how a sealstone is carved, but most importantly, they will admire the legacy of Lambis Katsoulis, the tenacious teacher who managed to revive the tradition of silversmithing in his village.
