Description: A Greek immigrant to Canada as a boy, Byron longs to rediscover his roots in a retirement cottage on Crete. Once there, his friend Theo convinces him to open a restaurant. Each painstaking step in its construction is fuelled by interesting labour practices, natural and man-made disasters, and above all, encounters with the glorious Greek cuisine.
