Συντάχθηκε απο τον/την Θεόφιλος Δουμάνης
Olga Malea's film, "Godfather for the First Time" - a political comedy that takes place on Crete - will be screened at Michigan University's Classical Studies Department on February 10, within the framework of the Modern Greek Program. It will be prologued by writer Nikos Papandreou (the son of the late Greek prime minister, Andreas Papandreou), who will also have discussions with the audience.
The movie is based on the autobiographical story, written by Nikos Papandreou, from his book entitled, "Ten Myths and One Story" and recounts an incident in the author's life when he was sent as a young boy to Crete by his father, to represent him at the baptism of the son of a prominent political ally.
