Description
We are in Melissi, a coastal village in the prefecture of Corinthia. It is located 31km northwest of the city of Corinth and 110km from Athens.

The film opens with three little boys with two of them being on a donkey. The donkey starts walking and the little boys smile at the camera. An elderly woman gives a long stick to the little boys while the filmmaker shows us the child who is on foot. The ride with the donkey continues as the little boy follows them on foot. The camera shows us a panoramic view of the area and then the elderly woman.

Afterwards, we see a shot of a sheep and the house in the background. The two little boys continue their ride with the donkey while a little girl runs behind them. Two women are having fun and smiling at the lens, while the camera briefly shows us an elderly couple. One of the two women tenderly hugs the little boy who continues to be on the donkey and then the filmmaker focuses on the little girl who is dancing alone. The film closes with the little girl dancing with the elderly man.
