LITTLE LAND 1t. 
Siden begynnelsen av krisen i Hellas, har et økende antall unge arbeidsledige athenerne flyttet til landsbygden, i håp om å endre sine liv til det bedre. Filmen følger 35-åringen Theodoris, som flytter til den avsidesliggende øya Ikaria. Der oppdager han et samfunn med en unik kultur av selvstendighet og samarbeid, og et folk som lever ikke bare bedre, men lengre enn alle andre i en av verdens få «blå soner», hvor innbyggerne har ekstraordinær lang levetid.
Regissøren Nikos Dayandas går på jakt etter den Ikariotiske hemmelighet. Han oppdager da hvordan øyfolkets forskjellige liv blir stadig mer relevant for oss i tider med økonomisk og sosial omveltning.

LITTLE LAND 1h.
Since the start of the crisis in Greece, a growing number of young unemployed Athenians are moving to the countryside, hoping to change their lives for the better. The film follows 35-year-old Theodoris, as he settles on the remote island of Ikaria. There, he discovers a society with a unique culture of autonomy and cooperation, and a people who live not only better, but longer than everyone else -in one of the world’s few ‘blue zones’ where inhabitants enjoy extraordinary longevity. Director Nikos Dayandas goes in search of the Ikarian secret, discovering how the islanders’ radically different lives are increasingly relevant to us in times of economic and social upheaval.
