A group of scientists is trying to unlock the secret of the longevity of people living on the island of Ikaria. They follow them, watching their daily routines in a closed world – kitchen, garden, workplace, their secret places. The researchers are going to ask them some rather personal questions…..
Having completed the first cycle of his studies in sociology at the University of Crète at Rethymno (Greece), Stavros PETROPOULOS graduated with a Masters in Media and Communication from Goldsmiths College, London University in 2008. Since returning to Greece he has lived and worked in Athens as a director and producer of a wide range of audiovisual works.
