The 2004 Festival will be launched by the bittersweet epic, A Touch of Spice, courtesy of Roadshow Film Distributors.
Acknowledged as one of the most successful Greek movies ever made, A Touch of Spice tells the story of a young Greek boy growing-up in Constantinoupolis whose grandfather teaches him that both food and life need a little something to give them flavour; they both require…a touch of spice. more>>
