Developed Projects
Everyone thinks their family is the craziest, but that risks changing, especially when Mark decides to make a documentary about his mother and his aunts: Lena, Yolla, Beba and Voulla. All events in this film will be seen through the camera of Mark, who tries to reveal their secrets. They are quite comfortable discussing the most intimate parts of their bodies while keeping their religious beliefs in mind. It's true that the Andriottys are no ordinary family, but one aunt takes the competition to a whole new level. So what seems like a very easy and overly accomplished task will actually spiral out of control. Especially when they try to hold Yolla back and hide her deep, dark secret. But all their efforts fail when she announces her return as La Divina Maria Callas. Yolla believes he is the reincarnation of Callas.
