Days of the Lake

We, human society, are used to saying: We and Nature. But aren’t we one with Nature and not beside it or across from it? This documentary film, which unfolds around Lake Kerkini, approaches the shared journey of the ecosystem and the inhabitants of the villages near the lake. We focus on Panayotis Chatzigiannidis, who was born, lives and works at Kerkini. We see through his eyes, we follow his and society’s reaction, the various facets of the lake, draining at wintertime and filling up in spring, the birds, the plants and the trees, the people, in a never- ending merging, at once agonizing and beneficial.
