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:
"Drama... A life between two homelands"
Episode 3
Refugee stories are life stories that move us and keep us on the edge of our seats during our trip to Drama. The place where many Greeks from Bulgaria, Asia Minor and the Caucasus arrived in waves, for various reasons. Today, many refugees, even the second-generation ones, trace the past of their ancestors, to discover whether they feel more at home here or there, or to build a homeland of their own, combining the old and the new. After being introduced to the magic of Drama’s nature, with off-road trails in the snow, icy waterfalls and river Nestos, and after hearing the life stories of Orestis, we are moved by Kyriakos’ words.
