After the death of their mother, Dany, 16, leaves Crete to join his older brother, Odysseas, who lives in Athens. Born from an Albanian mother and a Greek father they never met, the two brothers, strangers in their own country, decide to go to Thessaloniki to look for their father and force him to officially recognize them. At the same time in Thessaloniki, is held the selection for the cult show, "Greek Star." Dany dreams that his brother Odysseas, a gifted singer, could become the new star of the contest, in a country that refuses to accept them. (Pyramide Distribution)

Finally, I watched my first relatively normal Greek drama from the local setting; and I’m saying “relatively normal” because the journey of the two Greek-Albanian brothers was really silly at times. I haven’t experienced such mixed feelings when watching a drama as powerful as this one in a long time. This might have been caused by the excessive running time, but I rather think it was the fact that even after two hours, the director doesn’t really tell you anything at all – and that really bothered me. But the premise is amazing. It shows Greece in a fresh and human way – and I really liked that.
