- Beginning of the journey in Nicosia: in the shop of Andreas Savva Sophie tastes a hot almond beverage and candied quince: then she meets Christina Mita who spoke about the division of the island and shows her the map of the demarcation line crossing through Nicosia.Cyprus has become a touristic destination (about 3 millions of visitors each year ). Then Sophie and Christina take a collective taxi to Larnaka: they arrive at the Saint-Lazarus church where the people celebrate the Palm Sunday.They speak with the father Nektarios, bishop of Arsinoé about the Greek Orthodox faith and the importance of Easter in this religion. Then they travel by car to Lefkara: they walked through the village and meet women making embroideries ( Leonardi di Vinci came in 1481 to the place for embroideries for the cathedral of Milan as Maro Rouvis told them). Then they travel to Tochni where they meet Sofronios Potamitis who has promoted the restoration of the old houses of this village: they visit a restored house with bougainvilleas and later they visit the farm of Loulla, the "halloumi" cheese maker : Sophie bought a kilogram of "halloumi" cheese and later they taste the grilled cheese with pita bread.

Finally Christina and Sophia arrive at Paphos, the capital of Cyprus in Roman and Greek times: they have a walk on the promenade and visit a mansion with very old mosaics. Besides we see zooms about the promotion of the reunification ( Lena Melanidou and his choir), about the coexistence in the village of Pyla (the Greek Cypriot mayor and the Tourkish Cypriot mayor), about the Christian faith in Cyprus (the importance of the Easter week, the family meetings and the daily life of the priest Borotis Panayotis), about the Troodos mountains with their craftsmen), about Hans-Jörg Wiedl, the former UN-peacekeeper who fights now for the protection of the reptiles in Cyprus and about the wedding "industry" in Cyprus (the wedding planner Ruth Walton and the marriage of the Israeli bride and groom).—zutterjp48
