 Tagline: Finally going to Greece.
Unlucky at both love and finding her dream job in the U.S., Greek-American history professor Georgia has come to Athens to regain her mojo—or kefi, as the Greeks call it. During an extended visit to a country whose locals can be counted on to commemorate failure and success with the same flamboyant spirit, Georgia signs up to be a professional tour guide, hoping she will find an eager audience for her encyclopedic knowledge of Ancient Greece among Athens’ many visitors.
Instead, the travelers who regularly fill Georgia’s tour bus are far more interested in lounging at Greece’s famous beaches than its celebrated UNESCO heritage sites. Her insistence that the vacationers listen to her scholarly lectures on the glory of the ancient world has made her the least popular guide in the history of Pangloss Tours. When she refuses to change her program to suit her customers, Georgia’s acerbic boss (Bernice Stegers) cuts a deal with another tour guide, the unctuous Nico (Alistair McGowan), to make her quit.
