Fortunate Son

After overcoming a severe drug problem, and motivated by a search for happiness with his new fiancée, filmmaker Tony Asimakopoulos turns his gaze to his complicated, painful relationship with his overbearing mother and ailing father and the patterns of dysfunction they share. A film about faith, despair, renewal, and the different kinds of love in a family, Fortunate Son follows the filmmaker from his childhood home in Montreal to the Greek villages of his parents’ birth and beyond.
