Ella's story begins in Greece, she is the only child of Jack, an American singer-song writer and Despina, a Greek, zany,over-protective Gyros owner. Nick, Ella's only friend, is a 10 year old shy, nerdy looking boy. Ella and Nick grow and their friendship turns into love, but in 2010 the Greek economy collapses. Nick vanishes and Jack dies. Despina and Ella have to move overnight to America for their survival. Now, Ella is a 27 years old late-bloomer -- with zero love life -- dreaming of becoming a singer, but Despina pressures her to take over the Gyros. During their daily fight, Despina drops dead of a heart attack, only to return as an intervening ghost, haunting Ella with unwanted advice and romantic guidance after Nick resurfaces as a handsome doctor (and something of a playboy). In this supernatural heartwarming romantic comedy -- drenched in Greek drama -- Ella will ultimately take control of her life, find the meaning of true love and learn how to deal with the passing of her mother.

BARBARA U Pre-ordered this touching mother-daughter tale and was so happy to watch it with my son and husband. I loved Rachel Suissa's latest movie (Les Liaisons dangereuses) and was eager to discover the new one. It's the perfect cozy movie night with laughs and emothional uplift. Don't miss it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Ocean P I highly recommend this movie to all families — especially to those who understand or have lived with an overprotective mother who adores her child and just wants her to be safe. It beautifully captures the invisible thread between mothers and daughters, especially in families who’ve moved across countries or continents for a better future. While rooted in Greek culture, the story speaks universally. The integration of comic-style storytelling adds a fresh and creative touch, and the music brings depth to every scene. It's a heartfelt, touching film with well-crafted characters you quickly grow to love. A perfect movie to watch as a family — honest, warm, and full of meaning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Cher C This is a fantastic feel good movie and will resonate with so many. It is a great mother daughter story with some great comedic laughs. Highly recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review emorphia m What a fun watch! Great to watch with the whole family ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Edin C Great Movie and comedy ! Spent a excellent time watching It! Fresh and surprising ! Definitly recommanded ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Christos Alexandre T It’s a ride ! Comedy meets Greek drama and unexpected turns! Third act has a great twist. No need to have a Greek mother to relate to the movie the story is universal . I saw it at the cinema in one of the special screenings and when I left the cinema this story left me with a really good feeling inside. I laught outloud numerous tiles and I shed a tear once or twice . Great family movie ! Lots of heart! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
