The episodes of the documentary series visit areas whose roots trace back to the depths of history. Their modern image is unique because they combine their stone traditional presence with the beauty of untouched mountainous landscapes.
Settlements perched on steep slopes overlook ravines and gorges like eyries in the rugged terrain. The undulations of the mountain ranges fade into the horizon in a dreamy combination of ruggedness and primordial harmony.
Images of unprecedented beauty, like folk paintings embroidered on pine-covered slopes and magnificent plateaus. Areas like the historic Dimitsana, the silver-gold-bearing Stemnitsa, the Koryschades and Viniani, with their more recent historical presence in the resistance against fascist Germany, the wonderful "Balkans" of Evrytania, as the villages of Stefani, Sella, Miliá, and Fidákia are called, the ruined Marathias, the beautiful stone bridges of Evrytania, compose delightful images and are approached with a deeper exploration of cultural and historical continuity.

«Maniaki»
Episode 4
The small villages of Maniaki and Flesiada with their traditional character stand here as the sleepless memories of the great battle and sacrifice of Papaflessas. The rough hill and the breastworks behind the rocks loom over the area. In the middle is the church of Agia Triada. The statue of Papaflessas has been erected in honor of the fighters who fell during the battle, while in the chapel of the Resurrection, next to the monument, the bones of the dead warriors are kept.
