With no alternative, Harry and his family are forced to pack their bags and reluctantly join Uncle Spiros to live above the neglected Three Brothers chippie. Together they set about bringing the chip shop back to life under the suspicious gaze of their old rival, Hassan, from the neighbouring Turkish kebab shop whose son has his own eyes on Katie. As each family member comes to terms with their new life, Harry struggles to regain his lost business empire. But as the chip shop returns to life, old memories are stirred and Harry discovers that only when you lose everything can you be free to find it all.Papadopoulos amp Sons was inspired by Marcus Markous own family history and cultural roots, which fueled his desire to focus on family unity I came from a very tight knit GreekCypriot family, said the director. However, as we grew older and grew up, my family, like so many other families, broke apart. I also lost so many of my Hellenic roots. In making the film I reached out to that sense of family that had been lost and I reached out to my Hellenic roots. The film is not about being Greek or Cypriot at all. I use that as backdrop. It really is about family unity at a difficult time. ........
