Finding My Olympia
Northern California, 1955. A career and independence feel worlds away for 18-year-old Greek-American Yianna Diamantopoulos. Her sheltered life in her uncle’s bakery is shattered when her older sister Olympia vanishes without a trace. Local authorities are quick to dismiss the concerns of immigrant families, leaving Yianna with a painful realization: She’s on her own.
Driven by fierce love for her sister and burning frustration with a system that ignores immigrant women like them, Yianna turns to her Uncle Stavros and his three bachelor friends who helped raise the sisters. While Stavros’ bakery is a neighborhood staple, the back room hides a risky secret: small-time, illegal gambling and winemaking operations that could crumble his life if exposed.
Bound by blood and a shared desperation, Yianna and Stavros navigate hidden corners and suspicious characters of northern California. They confront the shadows of Olympia’s disappearance and uncover deeper truths about themselves.
