The topic which is tackled by this film is the Greek "xenophilia" (the opposite to xenophobia!). This is the tenet that anything foreign is better than the local, Greek product, person, manners, culture, etc. This was rife in Greece in the 50s and 60s and the foreign "product" in this case is an "Italian" bride-to-be brought home to his xenophilic mother by a long suffering Greek son.
Maro Kodou, as good as ever in romantic comedy roles, shines forth as the Italian bride, perfect foil to the wry Alexandrakis as groom. Numerous comical episodes unfold and the film bubbles along coming to a riotous conclusion, perfectly exemplifying the old Greek proverb "A shoe from your own country is better, even if that shoe is mended!"
