As troubling television pictures from Greece reach the Zervakis family, Linda is setting out on a journey with her mother, Chrissi. It seems like a journey back in time. Once, Chrissi Zervakis wanted to leave her Greek village behind, but her father, Kostas, forbade her from leaving to attend drama school in Thessaloniki. Instead, she was to learn how to be a housewife, to improve her chances of finding a husband. If all else failed, it would have to be an arranged marriage.
