Eleni Papachristou | Greece
Mr. Spiros' workshop has for decades been his workplace and also his home, but most of all his way of life. Spending day and night in his handicraft store to create countless clay objects and sell them to all those tourists who came daily to his island, he forgot something very important: The outside world! Locked up and lost among pots and clay figurines, Spiros no longer remembered the immense beauty of his greek Mediterranean island, which every year became a holiday destination for thousands of people from every corner of the world.
However, an unexpected event altered the monotonous life of Mr. Spiros, thanks to which a world full of colors, surprises and emotions opened up before his eyes.
A tender yet funny story, in which a Greek potter spent most of his life with his hands sunk in the clay, turning his back on everything around him. The routine, the loneliness and sometimes the greed can make us deprive ourselves of the happiness, joy and wellbeing of life experiences. When Mr. Spiros realizes the relevance of nature and starts to enjoy his great adventure like a little boy, he comes to appreciate whatever is part of it.
