In the divided island of Cyprus a group of refugees from the occupied village of Kapouti try to keep a tradition that links them to their village: the traditional art of making the Kapoutian straw-mat. An old weaving machine from their village is discovered. A re-enactment of the whole process of making the Kapoutian straw-mat , the cutting down of the plant in rivers and lakes, the weaving in traditional weaving machines and its distribution to the market. Will this bring back a lost link to their village? Can this tradition be passed on the new generation?
