"Sunday at the Village Again": A fresh take on the beloved traditional TV format. The main character remains the same: the village — its people, their lives, their habits and customs, the way they carry on their traditions in everyday life. We explore their achievements over time and their dreams for the future. Glorious moments and difficult times, customs and celebrations, songs and feasts, their connection with the natural environment and the ways it shapes both the local economy and the spirit of the community. The village is not just a romantic idea — it's a living, evolving organism, adapting to new realities. With imagination, resourcefulness, humor, emotional depth, high production aesthetics, and a modern storytelling approach, we trace the dynamic interplay between past and present — from yesterday to tomorrow, and from one end of Greece to the other.

"Sunday at the Village Again" goes to a village that loves tradition. In the borderline Pythio the inhabitants gaze at the plain of Evros, declare that they have no problems with their neighbors, and reminisce about the past greatness of their place. In the shadow of the Byzantine Castle, the locals tell Kostis the fictional history of the Railway Station when the famous Orient Express stopped there. They introduce him to the tradition of the bagpipe, they show him how the recipe for the lamb “giouvetsi” is made and how they work in their fields in spite of the bad weather. In their narratives they point out why and how the place is deserted, underlining that "as the villages get smaller, their voice diminishes". However, they do not leave Pythio. Kostis will ask them: What’s the benefit of living here? Love, good energy, a mood for hospitality, and a strange philosophy that lasts until today: in life, you need friends to be able to spend!
