Summary:

Yiannis has abandoned life in the city.

He didn't feel anxious about loneliness. He preferred to live alone on a mountain. He went to build a shack with his bare hands on the slope – actually on a cliff – of a mountain range that is not accessible by road, to ensure his tranquility.

Due to the mountainous landscape, the horizon is very jagged but this cannot disturb its inner peace. It has nothing to do with the forest. It is part of the forest. He lives without electricity, but has a spring with fresh water. He grows his own vegetables, fruits, legumes, chestnuts and whatever the mountain offers or needs to survive.

And all this without any vehicle and heavy machinery, without any power consumption.

Only by listening to the spirit of the forest and revealing its truth through hard solitary work.
