Synopsis
“Memento” is 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.
“Memento” travels us to Giromeri, Thesprotia, during the Easter days. Through the cinematic lens, we can observe the everyday life of this little village and search for the roots of a very special custom. Through the songs, the lyrics and the sounds, the few people of the village try to keep traditions and legends alive, and secure the continuation of life even when it ends. Α special – not just ethnographic – depiction of a custom whose origins are lost in time, where the footage filmed in color of the past joins the black and white present, and where the sounds of the clarinet are echoing through the rocks, the mountains and the faces.
“Memento” is an attempt – contrary to the relentless digitization of our times – to keep the analog memory of the Greek countryside alive: a life memento.
