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!

Giannis’ words welcome us to the dreamy lake Kerkini: “I want to always remember this feeling, I don’t want to forget it”! This feeling is the magic and freedom he experienced every time he was at the lake. Indeed he has never forgotten it, as he has been living permanently in this magical place for the last 20 years.

In this place, whose banks are the homes of buffaloes, wild birds, unidentified fish and horses. The place that accommodates many quiet villages and beautiful lakeside forests. Lake Kerkini wasn’t always there, in the shadow of mount Beles. It was manmade due to the dam that was built in the Struma River in the 1930s. A lot has changed in the area since then, except for the natural beauty, which the locals make sure to keep intact.
