One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
In the Cretan villages of the White Mountains, women preserve the rich tradition of the land with maturity and creativity. Over the years, the Cretan "petseta" has become a very important part of their dowry, their life and their personality. On each "petseta" there are warp threads that must be fastened. A simple knot would be enough, until some woman, playing with the loose threads, created the first finger lace pattern. This is the main subject of this film. Mrs Marie Naxaki's encounter with these women led to the joy of talking about the past and the special meaning of the finger lace edging.
