Synopsis

 

“Let our thrones as arbours now be found,
Our joy be Arcadian, and free!””
(Goethe, Faust, II, 3, 9572-3)

The documentary is a travelogue to the Arcadian land, a journey from the beginnings of history to today; from Pelasgus to Kolokotronis and Papanastasiou; from Polybius to Nikos Gatsos and Thanassis Valtinos; from the virgin forests to the modern urban landscape.
