Description
We are in Platy, a village in the prefecture of Florina. Administratively it falls under the municipal district of Plateos, Municipality of Prespa.

The film opens with a group of women with children coming towards the filmmaker. A man waves to the camera and the camera focuses on the children. Afterwards, we see the group dancing in circles while people behind them eat and have fun. Shots of the children follow and we get back to the group. The dance ends and a man waves to the camera. The filmmaker stands over a seated man looking at photographs.

The film ends with the children.

The film features Loukas and Hasaposerviko from the brass band “Topiki Paradosi” of Florina.

Creator's description


Platy Prespon. Easter 1979.
In the yard of the unforgettable Stratis.
In the company of our loved ones, most of whom are no longer with us!
After the lamb and around its ashes, we always set up the dance.
Beautiful, happy years!
Petridis Giannis
