Zorba's Parthenon is a warm, funny and affectionate story of food, friendship and the joyful disorder of life in a Greek island village.
In the sleepy fishing village of Telios, the wine flows freely, the gossip travels even faster, and there is usually a goat with an opinion somewhere in the yard. But when Peter's beloved taverna is closed down by Greek bureaucracy, Telios loses far more than a place to eat. It loses its heart and soul.
Led by the fiery and practical Alex, the villagers join forces to bring Zorba's Taverna back to life. None of them has the faintest idea how to run a restaurant, but this does not discourage them. What cannot be fixed with ouzo, a few strings of lights, and a community stubborn enough to refuse defeat?
Through misunderstandings, well-meaning chaos, village wisdom and people who love loudly, laugh loudly and eat even louder, Zorba's Parthenon is a celebration of Greek life as it is truly lived: messy, warm, infuriating, generous and unforgettable.
A comic story filled with sunshine, sea, friendship, tenderness and the eternal Greek belief that, however difficult things may appear, there is always time for one more glass of wine.
Ο Παρθενώνας του Ζορμπά είναι μια ηλιόλουστη, αστεία και τρυφερή ιστορία για το φαγητό, τη φιλία και τη χαρούμενη αταξία της ζωής σε ένα ελληνικό νησί.
Στο νυσταγμένο ψαροχώρι Τέλιος, το κρασί ρέει άφθονο, το κουτσομπολιό ακόμη πιο γρήγορα, και συνήθως υπάρχει μια κατσίκα με άποψη στην αυλή. Όταν όμως η αγαπημένη ταβέρνα του Πίτερ κλείνει εξαιτίας της ελληνικής γραφειοκρατίας, ο Τέλιος χάνει κάτι πολύ περισσότερο από ένα μέρος για φαγητό. Χάνει την καρδιά και την ψυχή του.
Με οδηγό τη φλογερή και πρακτική Άλεξ, οι χωριανοί ενώνουν τις δυνάμεις τους για να ξαναζωντανέψουν την Ταβέρνα του Ζορμπά. Κανείς τους δεν έχει την παραμικρή ιδέα πώς λειτουργεί ένα εστιατόριο, αλλά αυτό δεν τους σταματά. Άλλωστε, τι δεν διορθώνεται με μια γερή δόση ούζου, μερικές σειρές από φωτάκια και μια κοινότητα που αρνείται να παραδοθεί;
Ανάμεσα σε παρεξηγήσεις, καλοπροαίρετο χάος, χωριάτικη σοφία και ανθρώπους που αγαπούν δυνατά, γελούν &
