Synopsis

Ιn Eleochori, Messinia, the last and elderly residents tell us how they rebuilt it after it was destroyed in the great earthquake of ’86 In the mountains through which modern Greece began we have the opportunity to see elements of the past coming into contact with the present and to reflect on the past looking back at us. We visit Eleochori, Messinia and talk to the elderly residents who stubbornly decided to rebuild their village when it was destroyed in the earthquake of 86. But time and the modernization of life have left the village empty as most left for Kalamata or even larger city in Greece.
