## Synopsis

Remember When (Τα Καλύτερά μας Χρόνια, 2020-2023) is a Greek national-television family drama series broadcast on ERT1 and ERTFLIX across three seasons and 170 episodes. Told through the memories of a storyteller narrator, it follows the eight-year-old Angelos, played by Manolis Ginis, as he grows up inside the Antonopoulou household. Katerina Papoutsaki and Meletis Ilias anchor the parents' world, with Jenny Theona as the grandmother and Erifili Kitzoglou and Dimitris Kapouranis filling out the extended family, while Vassilis Haralambopoulos voices the narrator who frames each story. The engine of the series is ordinary domestic life: school troubles, neighbourhood gossip, money worries, and the small rivalries and reconciliations that fill a crowded home. Each episode is a self-contained slice of everyday existence, and the season-long arc follows the family's gradual adjustment as the first television set arrives and reshapes evenings in the living room. Set in late 1960s Greece, the series captures a country on the edge of rapid modernisation, with cars, radios and new ideas creeping into traditional routines. The tone is warm, wistful and gently comic, with a sincere affection for its characters and an undercurrent of tenderness toward the passing of childhood. Fans of The Wonder Years, The Waltons and Our Family Honor will find resonance in its nostalgic family portrait.
