A Not So Austere Greece

 15 year-old exuberantly gay Dany and is older brother Ody set out for Thessaloniki so that Ody can audition for the "Greek Idol" TV show.  They also plan to find their dead-beat dad who may or may not be living there. Dany is unbridled and dangerously volatile in the face of homophobia, injustice and the politically stalled state of the nation and Ody has to and has had to rescue him from trouble all their young lives.  Dany's life is filled with fantasy, old Italian torch songs and a memory of  his infancy snuggling against a virile hairy chest.  The warm yet strained bond between the two brothers makes for a delightful if rocky road movie.
