      Maybe it will be obvious to Greeks, but the producers of the movie will no doubt want to appeal to a wider, general audience.? So, as a non-Greek potential movie viewer, why MUST she dress like a man to play the bouzouki?

      And how will the money enable her to get back her children?? Is that what he demands — he is, in effect, holding his own kids for ransom?? (And where is he holding them?? In Greece?)

      Agreed with DPG.

      Also, why is she separated from the kids? Was there a divorce? Did the husband kick her out of the house? What is the inciting event that sets this story in motion?

      dear97s:

      Thanks for the clarification.? Putting aside for now the cultural context that compels her to go “undercover”, what good will raising all that money do if the husband refuses to let his children join her in America?? After all, per your statement, it’s a very macho culture,? a very patriarchal culture.? What “macho” man would surrender custody of his children at any price?

      Has he agreed to let her “buy” their freedom to join her in America?? Or does plan to “get her children” back by hiring someone to kidnap them?

      I think it sounds like a real dramatic movie! But yes, it needs a bit more info on the crossdressing reasons.
