Description
We are in the beach “Anemomylos” in Volissos, the largest village of northwestern Chios, at a road distance of 42 kilometers away from the city of Chios.

The film opens with an elderly woman, a younger one and two small children on the beach, with the young woman smiling at the camera. He stands for a while in the company and then shows us four slightly older children having fun in the sea with an inflatable mattress, one of whom is on the mattress and the others are driving it by swimming.

The filmmaker captures the woman in the foreground with the youngest child swimming and afterwards, focuses on two little girls having fun in the water with the inflatable mattress. The view changes to footage of a trawler. We see two men holding two very large fish and a woman between them holding a smaller one.

The film closes with a man and several children of various ages posing for the camera with the fish.
