From the glorious 2004 until today’s challenging times, Greek summer has resisted the crisis through the narrative of the sunny and heavenly tourist destination, whilst at the same time living in Greece has been mutating dramatically. A group of young people revisiting the summers of their lives, rediscover and reconsider their experiences from their generation’s point of view. From the childhood holidays to the summer labor of adulthood, the memories are marked by the surrealism of being a resident, tourist, student and worker in the land of zorba and souvlaki, and the demystification of the motto “live your myth in Greece”.
