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.

I really enjoyed this funny romantic fantasy. The relationship with mother and daughter seemed authentic and the pacing was really good. I will recommend this highly. Also the scenery was great!

Beautiful film. It carries such a heartfelt message about how our parents stay with us long after they’re gone. It really resonated with me, especially the way you showed grief, memory, and love all intertwined. Thank you for making something so meaningful.

A warm, funny, uplifting indie story about mothers and daughters, culture, and healing. The performances are sincere and the movie has heart! It blends humor, music, romance, family bonds , super natural and Greek drama! Opa ! There’s even a twist you don’t expect and some sweet surprises in the end credits, so watch until the very last second.
