Film description

Τhere is no time for anything but music for the Xylouris family. Three generations of musicians uphold and pass on the vibrant tradition of Cretan music, performing ceaselessly to followers across the world, from a very young age. From 48-year-old Psarogiorgis to his father Psarantonis, credited with reinventing Cretan music, and to his teenage children growing up in Australia, the film follows Greece’s most famous musical clan, to discover the electrifying power of their music and the sacred, yet oppressive ties that hold the family together.
