It is an ethnographical and historical account of the Cyprus silk industry, which played an important role in the socioeconomic life of the island. Today this industry is near extinction. We track the story of Andreas and Kiriakou, Kiratzi, a couple, refugees from Agios Georgios in Kyrenia, who to this day produce and weave silk the traditional way. We follow step by step the process, from the breeding of the silk worm to the weaving and embroidering of the silk sheet. The textiles produced are used for commerce, for the dowry of the daughters and for other household linen and costumes. Selected interviews with craftsmen and traders of the last generation of silk producers accompany the rich visual material. The magical relationship between these craftsmen and their product brings us into a legacy of harmony, where nature and man help each other. Although silk appeared in Cyprus from the Byzantine times the period in which this material predominated on the "silk routes" is mainly from 13th to 15th century A.D during the Lusignan dynasty on the island.

This documentary film concerns the Cyprus silk industry, which has played an important role in the economic life of the island throughout the centuries. Although silk appeared in Cyprus from the Byzantine times, the period in which this material predominated in the “Silk Routes” is mainly from the 13th to the 15th century A.D. during the Lusignan Dynasty in the island. Cyprus was then developed to the manufacturing and trade center of the silk industry in the East Mediterranean Basin, witch supplied with silk textiles, the Church in the West. Besides, one has to mention that the silk industry survived as a cottage industry, in Cyprus until mid 29th century. The traditional methods of the silk production and weaving into precious textiles as well as their uses, for the dowry household linen and costumes have been presented in this documentary film. These rare documents are completed with selected interviews from craftsmen and traders from the last generation of silk producers with a couple of refugees who pose as predominated characters throughout the film. The documentary’s objective is not only to present scenes and information, but to keep constant interest on the subject and to give artistic values as well: by means such as the “popularized” narration, the presence of the magic relationship between these craftsmen and their products, etc. within the framework of a changing society and economy. Dr. Eleni Papademetriou, cultural anthropologist, who studied the subject during fieldwork, in archives and museums, since 1965, writes the script.
