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.

Charming film that has lots of jokes that anyone coming from a European background can relate to.

Greek Mothers Never Die is a heartwarming romantic comedy that felt like a warm Greek embrace and then surprised me with a mythological twist I did not see coming. The film is both a love letter to mother-daughter bonds and a nod to the meddling of the Greek gods.

Greek Mothers Never Die is a charming film anchored strongly by the lead actresses. Rachel Suissa is delightful as Despina and also provides assured guidance through her directing. Abby Miner is navigates the tone of the film well, showing off both comedic and dramatic chops. Lovely film!

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!
