The film, which takes us on a journey to the Fournoi Islands in the northeastern part of Greece, introduces us to the local community with a rich maritime history and a deep-rooted culture. On this island, where gender roles differ from traditional norms, men venture out to distant seas to sustain their livelihoods. Women not only manage household chores and raise children but also work in various fields such as construction and agriculture, thereby controlling the island's economy.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
