All the Afternoons

A series of portraits of those who live outside the walls of the three monasteries of Patmos of those who feel the anguish of cultural poverty experienced by every country from the moment it unreservedly accepts tourist development – and Patmos is no exception. At the same time, the film examines those who live within the walls of the great monastery which has for centuries regulated the island’s economic and cultural development; those who donned the black cassock of the monk and sought the answer to the eternal question, choosing a life far from worldly things. Two worlds that are diametrically opposed, each with its own aspirations and visions. Two worlds, however, that are converging dangerously in a forced coexistence. The one desperately trying to bring a past that is full of legends and incense into the present, and the other feeling the weariness, the satiety and the loneliness that follows the accumulation of the summer profit. A small community that is changing and breaking down without putting up the slightest resistance.
