Breathing on Land

Original title: Στο χώμα αναπνέουν

On the banks of Lake Trichonida, irrigation water leaks illegally into the parched soil. In a land where European subsidies bought the end of cultivation, manual labor remains the sole act of resistance; tobacco, once a national product, has become the last thread of a community that refuses to be wiped off the map. In drained fields; a handful of tobacco farmers persist in the dream they were raised on.
