Among the home industries for which Cyprus
enjoyed great renown in the 18
th
and 19
th
centu-
ries was the making and dyeing of “pasmades”
(cotton cloths) by Greek and Turkish artisans.
The art of the “pasmadjides” was taken over in
later years by “mandilarides” (kerchief-mak-
ers). This film tells the story of the very last
patterned-kerchief workshop, that of the Ka-
kollis brothers, through the testimonies of the
artisans themselves. The film also examines the
role and use of the kerchief in the everyday life
and customs of Cyprus.
