Homeland (1): Silver and Lace

Eleni Poli and Chrystalla Marangou are Greek Cypriot widows living in Camden Town, post-war immigrants whose family ties keep them here. In this film they revisit the village of their youth, Lefkara, and discover the commercialisation of the crafts of lace- and silver-making, which has brought new prosperity to a village emptied by emigration.
