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:
"Lemnos... the island of unadulterated beauty"
With a history going back centuries, Lemnos is a beautiful volcanic island in the Northeastern Aegean Sea. A well-loved destination for serene holidays and coming into contact with nature, Lemnos enchants at first sight. And especially in spring! Endless meadows, with poppies, barley and all kinds of flowers. Traditional villages, with their own unique identity. Places and buildings that have many stories to tell. Fabulous beaches and gastronomic experiences. A desert but also a church that has no roof. And a castle in the heart of Myrina, with deer walking beside the guests. Because Lemnos is an island of contrasts but also an island of unadulterated beauty.
