In today's world, is it wise to follow, or even trust the white rabbit? Join Dany and Ody as they journey across the wonderland of 21st Century Greece in a quest to find their last living family member – the "unmentionable" father who abandoned them 13 years before. In this hyperreal odyssey the brothers many adventures climax at gunpoint during the Greek X-Factor auditions as they reconnect with one another and attempt to find a sense of belonging in a country that refuses to accept them. As Athena watched over Jason during his quest for the Golden Fleece, the songs of the pop goddess Patty Pravo guide and protect the boys in their search for the father they never knew.

Finally, I watched my first relatively normal Greek drama from the local setting; and I’m saying “relatively normal” because the journey of the two Greek-Albanian brothers was really silly at times. I haven’t experienced such mixed feelings when watching a drama as powerful as this one in a long time. This might have been caused by the excessive running time, but I rather think it was the fact that even after two hours, the director doesn’t really tell you anything at all – and that really bothered me. But the premise is amazing. It shows Greece in a fresh and human way – and I really liked that.
