A lyrical documentary film, an elegy to Epirus that fades away, but also to Epirus that survives. A love song for those who stayed, for those who migrated, for its musicians and its unique nature. A journey to Giromeri, Thesprotia, during the Easter days. Through the cinematic lens, we observe the everyday life of this little village and search for the roots of a very special tradition. An attempt – contrary to the relentless digitisation of our times – to keep the analogue memory of the Greek countryside alive: a life memento.
