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:
"Messinia... the past comes alive in the present"
Episode 14
History converses with the present in the land of Messinia. From the crown of civilization, Ancient Messene, and the Palace of Nestor, to the “eyes of Venice in the Mediterranean”, as the medieval castles of Methoni and Koroni are known. And from the shipwrecked vessels at the bottom of the sea to the underwater abyss, the Calypso Deep, this journey is both captivating and mysterious. Captivating, however, are also the people we met here and talked to us about a different life.
