Description

“The Water of the Sun” — a fairy tale about coming of age and innocence, the courage of the journey, the power of love, and the beauty of nature. Motifs from folk tales and myths are woven into the archetypal hero’s journey, as the protagonist, with courage, tenderness, and solidarity, seeks to find their place in the world without losing themself or their love for everything that surrounds us.

The funding body of the project is the Ministry of Culture, within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan "Greece 2.0" with funding from the European Union - NextGeneration EU.
