The Charmer of Grammos

Grammos, located in the northwestern corner of the Greece, is one of the wildest backwoods of the country. In that place, human presence is in total harmony with nature. Old Sotiris has been living there for eighty years, in a primitive way, as if time had stood still for decades. Every fall he sets out on a journey to find wild bees in the forest. As years go by, they become less and less. His knowledge on life and nature has taught him to appreciate every breath. And the endless hours in the forest have turned him into a philosopher trying to find the beginning and the end of humanity.
