Film Synopsis:
"Ella‘s story begins in Greece, she is the only child of Jack, an American singer-song writer and Despina, a Greek, zany, overprotective Gyros owner. Nick, Ella’s only friend, is a 10 year old shy, nerdy looking boy. Ella and Nick grow and their friendship turns into love, but in 2010 the Greek economy collapses. Nick vanishes and Jack dies. Despina and Ella have to move overnight to America for their survival. Now, Ella is a 27 years old late-bloomer — with zero love life — dreaming of becoming a singer, but Despina pressures her to take over the Gyros.
During their daily fight, Despina drops dead of a heart attack, only to return as an intervening ghost, haunting Ella with unwanted advice andromantic guidance after Nick resurfaces as a handsome doctor (and something of a playboy).
In this supernatural heart warming romantic comedy — drenched in Greek drama — Ella will ultimately take control of her life, find the meaning of true love and learn how to deal with the passing of her mother." (Source: GreekMothersNeverDie.com)
