Raised in America, 11 year old Alex, travels to Crete to step in for his politician father at a local christening. His foreign looks, his difficulty with the Greek language, the Cretan's particularities and the test he's force to endure to be accepted as the worthy son of the leader culminate in a comedy with political wrangling, existential distresses and tragicomic situations. Alex's first invitation in the art and tricks of politics will mark him for the rest of his life. Friday 9 March 2012 at Gough Whitlam Park, Bayview Avenue, Undercliffe. Gates open at 5.30pm - Movies starts at 7.00pm or at sunset. BYO picnic blankets, bean bag lounges and chairs. Food and beverages are available.
