This movie is dedicated to all the beautiful people who have been pouring out their hearts & souls each summer to welcome people from all around the world.

To all precious grandmas who have been opening their hearts and homes to strangers. The ones who manage to define greek PHILOXENIA globally.

In the loving memory of Grandma Evangelia Kontonikoli (1926 - 2022) who passed away before our premiere.
