- A Greek shopkeeper discovers something about his family's past when his mother embraces an Albanian worker.
- Stavros, a Greek shopkeeper cares for his aging mother after a stroke. Pity that his worst fears slowly are realized: he might be Albanian instead of Greek! Feeding these fears are his mother's lapses into Albanian language, the disconcerting appearance of an Albanian brother of whom he was unaware, and his neighbor's dog who only barks at Albanians. Stavros and his "brother" gradually reach a tenuous rapprochement even as his Greek neighbors begin to shun him. The old lady's funeral offers opportunities for conflict and resolution in Stavros' tight-knit enclave even as the community rapidly changes around them.—Mediavilla
- Day in, day out, grizzled Stavros, the owner of a small convenience shop, prepares for the long day ahead in the quiet neighbourhood. Along with his friends, who are the shop's regulars, Stavros takes great joy in engaging in endless, pointless conversations, being particularly proud when Patriot, their dog who has a knack for identifying Albanians, starts barking at suspicious strangers. Then, one day, Stavros' mother, Chariclia, who's on the verge of Alzheimer's, has a chance encounter with her supposed long-lost son: an Albanian worker. Is this a cruel joke or an equally relentless reality?—Nick Riganas
