A cobbled village street in Lazania runs between rubble-stone houses with tiled eaves, wooden doors and small barred windows. A single barefoot figure, seen from behind, walks down the middle of the street with a load balanced on the head. Beyond the houses a bare, scrubby hillside rises under a pale sky.
