Cyprus/Greece 2011. Director: Elias Demetriou
Cast: Marios Ioannou, Marlene Kaminsky, Anne-Marie O’Sullivan, Diomedes Koufteros,
Alkistis Pavlidou
Writer-director Elias Demetriou was born in Cyprus, lives and works in Athens, and holds British, Greek, and Cypriot citizenship; so, in tackling a tale of immigration, identity, and complicated national loyalties, he knows whereof he speaks! Cockney-accented Andy (Marios Ioannou) is a hard-working Cypriot immigrant who has spent his life deep-frying fish n’ chips in a London shop. When he loses his job, Andy decides it’s time to take his Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother, his German girlfriend Karin, and her daughter Emma on a visit back to his homeland. Once in Cyprus, Andy hits upon the brilliant idea of starting his own business — a seaside fish n’ chips joint. But Cyprus is not London, and maybe you can’t go home again, especially if you haven’t yet figured out where home is. Colour, Digibeta video, in English and Greek with English subtitles. 102 mins.
