PREVIEW: Papadopoulos and Sons (15)

Papadopoulos and Sons is brought to our screens by an unknown multi-skilled filmmaker Marcus Markou. Following on from his short The Last Temptation of Christ, Markou debut feature film is one to admire.

An intriguing and funny look at the fall from rich to poor, Papadopoulos and Sons is a film that entertains and is guaranteed to make you smile throughout.

Bringing to the screen an array of nationalities and experience Papadopoulos and Sons is headed by Stephen Dillane (King Arthur) along with a selection of unheard actors such as Cosima Shaw (Alfie), Georges Corraface (Escape from L.A) and Ed Stoppard (The Pianist).
Papadopoulos and Sons also brings promising actress Georgia Gromme, the star of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging back to our screen along with the son of the lead actor Stephen Dillane all set for a promising future ahead after this performance.

Papadopoulos and Sons focuses on Harry Papadopoulos (Dillane) a businessman who has all a massive house, a successful business and a great future. On the cusp of completing a deal of a lifetime, it all goes downhill amidst a double dip-recession.
Left with nothing apart from an old Fish and Chip shop from his youth, half owned by his estranged brother Spiros (Corraface).

Harry and his brother set about bringing the chippy back to life however, face strong competition from a local Turkish Kebab Shop and an unwanted love triangle.

Papadopoulos and Sons is a sincere comedy-drama exploring family relationships and the British need for a good old fashioned chippy.
