Between baking bread and eating baklava, she meets and mentors a ten-year-old girl who is determined - against all odds - to become the next golf sensation.

and line everything up

just right and poof,

you get a fat shot into

the rough, you know?

Or, practice.

- I practice everyday,

but it's hard to come perfect

because I don't have

a course to use.

- Oh, right, you said

you weren't allowed?

It can't be because you're young

'cause I was about your

age and I played there.

- No, you have to pay a lot

of money if you wanna play.

- But what about clinics?

Don't they have free

golf lessons for kids?

Mmm-mm.

- This book is in Greek,

but you don't speak Greek.

- So you keep reminding me.

I used to speak and

read it pretty well.

I spent many summers

here growing up,

but now my Greek is you know,

I think I've managed to get

through two whole pages.

- Okay, I'll help

you with your Greek

and in exchange, you will

give me golf lessons.

- Oh, Stella, I'm sorry,

but like you said,

we don't have a

course to play on

and I'm afraid I'm not gonna

be here much longer anyway.

You know what I could do,

I could work with

you on your swing,

we don't need a course for that.

- Hello, miss.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello, hi.

Hi, my name is Panayiotis

Manalakis, people call me Panos.

I'm the manager of

colossus golf course.

You're Zoe Papadopoulos, right?

- Right.

- Well, it's a great honor

to meet a golf superstar

such as yourself.

- Whoa, easy there.

- I have a proposal for you.

I want to invite you to run

a golf clinic for the summer.

- Oh, I'm not gonna be here...

- okay, you're a big star

and we can use your

expertise, but...

I hear also you have

putting problems, right?

- It's nothing I can't manage.

- Listen, listen, if you

come work at the course,

you will be able to practice

your game without pressure

and then when your

suspension is over,

you can return to the

tour better than ever.

You see, good for me

and good for you.

- Look.

I appreciate the offer,

but no, thank you.

- Listen, we have great

plans for this place, listen.

Just come and visit the course.

You may change your mind.

Mmm.

- Zoe.

- Yeah?

- What is a matter with you?

Are you making down again?

- Yia Yia.

Yiayia, this Galaktoboureko

make me dying of the happiness.

We used to make it together

when you were young, remember?

I do.

I remember the entire

kitchen smelling like sugar

and everything in the

world just seemed right.

- Yes.

- That's why I married her,

her cooking tricked me.

- Hey, do you guys know a little

girl in town named Stella?

Cute girl, maybe 10 or

11, extremely serious.

Could it be Stella Roussos,

Marcos' daughter?

- Ah, Marcos Russos,

yes, the widower.

- He and his daughter live

near the prophet Ilias,

why do you ask?
