Put to Rights

Put To Rights is a family drama about three brothers and their attempt to prepare for a traditional Easter barbecue for their hometowns Greek Orthodox Church. Yanni Vlaos, the youngest brother, goes through a journey of self-discovery as the events leading up to Greek Easter force him to confront his negative memories about his father and empathize with his brothers needs to save their family restaurant and reconnect with a community they have abandoned. Put To Rights examines the relationships of brothers and fathers and sons in a first generation Canadian family. It is a highly personal story that is partially adapted from my own life and centers around concepts of the Canadian hybrid identity, masculinity, memory, brotherhood, family, and the motivations behind abusive patriarchal figures.
