A Spartan Dream
The story of Brad (Peter Bundic), a Greek American history buff who works hard at his father's failing New Jersey diner. Magical realism weaves its way through a romantic-adventure story (c. 1987) as Brad is sent to his ancestral village in Greece to evict relatives from a family home. Cracking under pressure, he escapes into fantasy, purposefully (and absurdly) recruiting the villagers to join him on a mission to reignite the Peloponnesian War with Athens. All to win the heart of a young Greek woman (Georgia Mesariti) who lives in the home. Set against the backdrop of the Greek government's concurrent quest to see the Parthenon Marbles returned from England, A Spartan Dream is an odyssey through one young man's exceptional imagination.
