Summary
Pathe synopsis: It’s easy to succumb to the sunshine and persuasive charm of a Greek island like Myconos. Even Petros the Pelican feels happily at home here wandering around the white-walled streets. He relies on the generosity of the islanders for food and he’s been there long enough to be accepted as a part of the leisurely life.
