00:00Since antiquity, Greek mothers have haunted their daughters with overbearing love
00:07until the day they die.
00:09Time.
00:10I'm fine, Mama.
00:11Stop worrying.
00:12I'll stop worrying when I'm dead.
00:14Except for my mother, Despina.
00:17I wish for you to have a daughter that makes you suffer as much as you make me suffer.
00:21She literally survived her own death.
00:24My heart. That's it. It's the heart attack. It's coming.
00:26You filled me as a mother.
00:28That's it. The heart.
00:29If you're going to die, just die.
00:33I killed my mother.
00:38Put that cigarette down.
00:40I left two minutes and you became a smoker.
00:43You made me believe I killed you.
00:45But you did.
00:50Elitza?
00:51I see dead people.
00:53Be afraid of me. Ma'am, you don't recognize me.
00:55Nick.
00:56It's been what?
00:57Twelve years.
00:58For crossing.
00:59I'm going to marry him.
01:01Help.
01:02Oh, sorry. I need to get ready for surgery.
01:05Guilt starts kicking.
01:06Opa!
01:07Chief!
01:08This is how you prepare to operate.
01:09I'm Ella, his wife-to-be.
01:12How did you two meet?
01:13When I was living in Greece, Ella was my only friend.
01:16At least we're giving it a shot, right?
01:18I do like you. It's just, you know, more like a sister.
01:21Like incest?
01:22Some people are lovable and I'm not.
01:24Never think you're not lovable.
01:26If you don't love yourself, who's gonna love you?
01:28Before her death, my mother was the obstruction.
01:31But then, here she was pushing me forward.
01:34And it looked like the world's ultimate late bloomer was finally ready to bloom.
01:38Hello.
01:39Now this is not right.
01:48This is not right.
01:49I wish I could fit in, but I don't think that would fit this boss.
