Brief Description
A feature documentary film.
Cyprus is a divided Mediterranean country surrounded by water. About a million people from various communities live and resonate all over the island, with the film tracing everyday sounds as experienced by the inhabitants themselves. An interaction of intense religious sounds, such as the call to prayer or the church bell, enhances the sonic amalgam of the island, while others harmonically and seamlessly blend with the everyday soundscape.
This documentary unveils the mosaic of multiple communities that Cyprus is, showcasing its extensive sound variety and, most importantly, revealing those social and political issues to which prominence is given through what is heard.
