LECHOVO

Documentary | 2017 | Col | 1h 39m

Summary

The filmmaker is re-visiting Lechovo, a small village in the Northwest of Greece and her family’s place of origin, which has been strongly affected by the recession. As traditionally the main profession had been the building trade, the men in the village were the first to lose their jobs seven years ago. As there is no tourism existing in this part of Greece, experiencing the downfall of the building trade is existential to the people. Their love for their work and their efforts to overcome the downwards-spiralling financial situation are at the centre of this film.
