Set on the Greek island of Andros in the 1930s, Little England is an epic tale of love and loss. Two sisters, Orsa and Moscha, secretly fall in love with the same man, Spyros, a young sailor. Bound by the expectations of their time and the controlling influence of their mother, their intertwined lives spiral into heartbreak, betrayal, and tragedy.

The feature film Saint Paisios (based on the hit television series) chronicles the life of Arsenios Eznepidis, tracing his journey from his birth in Farasa, Cappadocia, to his ascent as one of modern Orthodoxy's most revered figures. The film explores his deep faith, his calling to monasticism, and his profound spiritual legacy.
