Description
We are in a district of Volos, at Anetopoulos Pottery, on Easter Sunday and according to the tradition, they roast lamb on a spit.
The filmmaker and his family have been invited to the traditional dinner. The filmmaker’s little boy approaches the camera with a smile near the lamb spit -which is turned by a woman -and watches the process for a while.
Afterwards, the children of the group gather in front of an old truck, so that the camera can record them, a woman slightly further away, the five little boys approach the lens. The skewers with the lamb and the kokoretsi (a dish consisting of lamb or goat intestines wrapped around seasoned offal, including sweetbreads, hearts, lungs, or kidneys) have come down from the fire, everyone bites a little from the roasts.
Lastly, the group of friends gather to capture this memory and a new arrival lightens up the frame; a blond little girl who has just started walking.
It is worth mentioning that the Anetopoulos Pottery has a history of two centuries, as it was bequeathed by its founder Vassilios Anetopoulos, to the next generations who continued its work. Today, the fruit of this long tradition is the Museum of Pottery-Ceramics, in Ano Lechonia, just outside Volos. The Museum is open daily, has educational programs and organizes pottery exhibitions.
