Writer-director Stelana Kliris offers a breezy vacation in a sun-kissed paradise - a romantic comedy about middle-aged singletons rekindling their age-old love for each other in the Mediterranean. Emmy and Grammy winner Harry Connick Jr. plays the main lead of the not-so-rocking rocker who serenades us with a few of his wistful tunes. It’s a pleasant entertainer that highlights greek culture and food habits while telling the cross-cultural love story. This attempt to mimic the success of ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ is not without a few merits.  

This film set in Cypress is about an ageing rock star John Allman ( Harry Connick Jr.) who returns to the island where he first fell in love - in search of seclusion and inspiration. He purchases a home on a cliff, dirt cheap, and begins living there only to find that the spot close to the cliff where his house stands, is notorious for luring people to commit suicide. As he spends his days trying to dissuade the suicidal from the extreme step off the cliff, he meets up with his old girl-friend, Sia (Agni Scott), now a doctor, on whom he based his all-time hit song ‘The girl on the Beach.’ They rekindle their affair and eventually, he discovers a secret that shocks him into realigning his priorities.
