When your overprotective mom dies, she just keeps giving you unsolicited love advice from beyond the grave. At least Greek mums do! 

This supernatural comedy begins in Greece: Ella is the only child of Jack, an American singer-songwriter, and Despina, the zany, overprotective Greek owner of a cooked meat shop. Nick, Ella’s only friend, is a shy, nerdy ten-year-old. As Ella and Nick grow older their friendship turns into love, but in 2010 the Greek economy collapses, Nick vanishes, Jack dies and Despina and Ella move to America and set up shop there.

Ella is now a 27-year-old late-bloomer, dreaming of becoming a singer, but Despina wants her to take over the business. During their daily fight, Despina drops dead of a heart attack, only to return as a ghost, haunting Ella with unwanted advice and romantic guidance after Nick resurfaces as a handsome doctor and something of a playboy.
