Vassilis is a fisherman and a writer. He has written a collection of poetry in terms borrowed from the life and nature of fish and the bottom of the sea. Despina, like other women in the village, works in the fish processing industry and is also a soprano. Twice a month she goes to the town where she participates in the rehearsals of the county choir. She has sung in many different countries - and for different causes - from Russia to the United States of America and Greece. They live together for 45 years in a small cottage in the edge of village.
George and Evi own the village tavern which was opened by Evi's grandfather 110 years ago. Eva makes the coffee and cakes and George makes the food, with the speciality being the goat stew with vegetables accompanied by yeast bread that he makes himself every day. Most of the time they spent maintaining the cafe as something always breaks down, it is one of the most old-fashioned places in the village. They live upstairs and sometimes stay in the cafe with other villagers in case of celebrations or natural disasters.
