About this Event
My family...my dream. Coming to terms with the death of her Papou, Helene untangles memories reminiscing on her Greek heritage and the decision her family chose to make for her. On the morning of the demolition of her late-grandfather's business, Helene hopes to save his American dream to resurrect what she has lost before it's too late.
