"Keepers of the Golden Fleece"  

• • • • • • • • • •

A family on the trail to the golden fleece gathers around the table for dinner. They are sitting on an archaeological site that contains most of the gold from the Colchian empire. During communist times, the father traveled from town to town with a projector in the back of his jeep. He hung sheets from trees to show movies in rural communities. Now no one in his family has work.
