Greece or Chicken on the Run

Johannes has a comfortable life and stands to inherit the family-run hotel. Unfortunately, however, he is an inveterate people-pleaser and avoids conflict at any cost. His father’s last will and testament sparks a tragi-comic journey to sunny Greece – and the realisation that it is time to take control of his own life.
