Bathers

The documentary takes place in the spa towns of Kaiafas (in the Peloponnese) and Edipsos (on the island of Evia), both places that are now way past their glory days; both are located by the sea and used to offer a cosmopolitan summer vacation. For the past few decades the 'faithful' that frequent them are usually people with relatively low incomes, retirees, senior citizens from the provinces and the ones who traditionally trust the healing properties of the spas. These, indeed, are the bathers.
