Description
Chanakia is a local community of Alpochori in the Prefecture of Ilia, in the Peloponnese, which belongs to the Region of Western Greece.

In the background we see a recording from inside a crowded cafe, at Christmas of 1974, where people drink coffee, soft drinks or other drinks, play cards, talk, laugh, greet and exchange wishes.
The space is heated by a wood stove.
We notice that there are only men in the cafe, and we also see a little kid.
