Summary:
Vangelis has been living for years in a makeshift hut on the edge of a cliff in Cape Maleas. He does not lock, he has no electricity, he moves all four seasons of the year on his bike. He chooses to live like this, despite the difficulties he faces.
Is Austere Abundance a look at simplicity, self-sufficiency, or perhaps a tangible utopia?
