Nothing can come between a Greek mother and her daughter, not even death!
 
In this delightful rom-com, brimming with Greek passion and plenty of family drama, late bloomer Ella dreams of becoming a singer, but her overbearing Greek mother, Despina insists she take over the Gyros business and marry a Greek man. After her sudden death, Despina's larger-than-life presence refuses to fade, haunting Ella with more unsolicited advice from beyond the grave. As Ella struggles to find her path to freedom and self-discovery, her charming childhood love, Nick, reappears, complicating things even further.
 
Written, directed and starring Rachel Suissa, the film features a multifaceted cast of talented actors, including Abby Miner (The Ritz, The Jurassic Games), Simon Rérolle (Survive, Dangerous Liaisons) and Carter Sirianni (Broken Vessels, Limerence).

During their daily fight, Despina drops dead of a heart attack only to returns as an intervening ghost, haunting Ella with unwanted advice and romantic guidance after Nick re-surfaces as a handsome doctor (and something of a playboy).
