WATCH THE FILM
Penelope and Tyler return from America and open a sushi spot in the village. The grandmas see a new rival challenging their own cuisine. Dakos, mizithra cheese and fried potatoes spring into action. RAKOKAZANO brings two culinary worlds into the same square and makes the menu a personal matter.
