Synopsis
Memento is a lyrical journey into the heart of Giromeri, a fading village nestled in the misty mountains of Epirus, northern Greece. Each Easter Monday, among weathered tombstones and blooming spring, villagers gather in the cemetery where local musicians perform the favorite songs of the departed – an intimate ritual of remembrance echoing through generations. This unique tradition becomes a timeless bridge between the living and the dead, between melody and memory. The documentary reveals the fragile beauty of rural life, where tradition clings to the edges of modernity. It is a gentle hymn to a way of life slowly fading, yet still fiercely sung.
