FIRST TIME GODFATHER

(ΠΡΩΤΗ ΦΟΡΑ ΝΟΝΟΣ)

This hilarious tale dives into Greek culture with the same abundant humour as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but with a realistic edge due to its basis on an autobiographical short story by Nikos Papandreou, son of a former Greek prime minister.

Raised in America, 11 year-old Alex travels to Crete to step in for his politician father at a local christening. His foreign looks, his difficulty with the Greek language, the Cretan's particularities and the tests he’s forced to endure to be accepted as the worthy son of the leader culminate in a comedy with political wrangling, existential distresses and tragicomic situations. Alex’s first initiation in the art and tricks of politics will mark him for the rest of his life.
