THE CHILDREN OF AN ENDLESS DREAM | 1970 – 2020

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

“Σ’ εκείνο το σημείο που γινόμαστε ένα. Που το όνομα, η καταγωγή, η γλώσσα δεν ζυγίζουν πάνω απ’ την αγάπη. Ψάχνοντας να βρεις αυτό που κανείς δεν τόλμησε. Αυτό που βρήκαν κάποτε τα παιδιά στα λουλούδια και εμείς στην ανάμνηση της μυρωδιάς τους…”

This movie is dedicated to all the beautiful people who have been pouring out their hearts & souls each summer to welcome people from all around the world.

To all precious grandmas who have been opening their hearts and homes to strangers. The ones who manage to define greek PHILOXENIA globally.

In the loving memory of Grandma Evangelia Kontonikoli (1926 – 2022) who passed away before our premiere.
