Salt and bread

Salt and bread

"Salt and Bread" introduces us to the people of a neighborhood, an ouzo distillery and a shipyard. What they all have in common is their love for what they do. Every summer, the Yannakelos family makes frumenty and the whole neighborhood gathers to make the "chachles", as they used to do in Greek villages once upon a time. They help each other, sharing the work that has to be done and laughing; because that's the way of living they learnt and preserve, passing it on the next generation. Sophia Konstantidelli, the only female distiller in Lesvos, continues the tradition of her family and makes ouzo with grapes and figs from the neighboring villages. Takis Psaradellis keeps on building and repairing wooden boats, despite the increase of plastic ones, that "are not compatible with our sea", as he says.
