Athena travels to Earth to find a boyfriend. It turns out to be Narcissus and she ends up going home a Virgin, but not beofre helping many people (and Mythilogical creatures) and learning a lot about herself.
Jaymz Bee’s love affair with film began in a small northern Ontario town, shooting 8 mm backyard movies and charging neighbourhood kids a quarter to star in them. Years later, after a long run directing music videos and TV commercials, Bee turned his lens toward storytelling with heart and humour. During the pandemic he wrote and directed award-winning shorts Wild Music, Beat Speak, and Artists & Aliens—each a playful blend of rhythm, poetry, and wonder. In 2024 he co-wrote his first feature with poet-author Robert Priest. Now in post-production and set for release in 2026, the film continues Bee’s lifelong quest to celebrate imagination, humanity, and the joy of creative collaboration.

2015. Europe is overshadowed by financial crisis and growing migration. Piotr, a Polish stockbroker at a turning point in his life, reunites after many years with his father, Jorgos—an eccentric Greek musician. Together, they set off in an old car from Greece to Poland to settle a family inheritance. Everything divides them: money, temperament, memory, and unspoken resentment, echoing the characters of Alexis and Basil from the movie "Zorba the Greek"... Along the way, the ghosts of the Greek Civil War, the migration of Greeks to Poland, and their long-ago separation begin to resurface. When a young Syrian refugee crosses their path, the journey takes on an unexpected new direction. As father and son draw closer to their destination, they must confront a family secret rooted in events that took place in Poland in 1987. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to hide a truth that could change their lives forever.
