What it’s about. Disciplined, stern, and above all, old-fashioned, Charilaos Bardas--a retired general and one of the last old-school Athenian gentlemen--rules his family with an iron fist. With three daughters of marrying age, the good-hearted but autocratic paterfamilias has his work cut out for him; however, the timely arrival of Charilaos' widowed sister--the open-minded Greek expatriate in Chicago, Calliope Pappas--will soon bring about change and innovation. So, without delay, the resourceful problem-solver concocts an unusual but infallible plan to speed things up a bit, and before long, the first blissful niece walks down the aisle with her hand-picked husband. But, with such a clever strategy, will the good auntie from Chicago still remain single?
