TRAILER
SYNOPSIS

Three Greek mothers cook obsessively for their sons and daughters who are studying away from home, while a man in a small van, collects food packages and delivers them to the students in Greece. With humor and sadness, the documentary opens a window into the traditional nature of the Greek family with the powerful mother figure at the centre and the children as kings and queens! Through the Greek mother’s practice of always feeding her children wherever they may be, motherly love is explored as well as the conflicting elements of sacrifice and control!
