There are many crime-thriller stories explored in the Hollywood cinema. But nothing comes close to what My Father’s Murder in Greece offers. Directed by Colin Theys, My Father’s Murder in Greece is about a young blonde girl named Allie (Cass Huckabay) and her trip to Greece.
Years after her parents’ divorce, Allie finally meets her father, George (Vaggelis Papadakis), and shares her plans. Like most father-daughter duos, Allie and George spend quality time together and share causal banter.
However, one night, her world is turned upside down after seeing his father lying on the ground, dead. While she is in a state of shock, the killer from behind tries to attack her. After some effort, the killer is able to render Allie unconscious.
During her conversation with Costas (Nikolas Makris), the police officer, Allie, suspects Theo (Giorgos Hatzikiriakos) of killing her father.
It makes sense for Allie to suspect Theo for the crime based on his history with George and their early conversation. But this is enough to suspect a person, especially blood-related. Even if we assume that Theo is the killer, what caused him to kill his brother? Let’s connect all the dots and bring the truth.
How Did George Murder?
The film picks up with Allie in Greece, reuniting with her father after a long time. This is her first time meeting her father, George, after her parent’s separation. After seeing her father, Allie’s face lights up with a smile, and she feels joy with him. Although George may not be a perfect husband, he is definitely a supportive father to his daughter.
However, this would not have been possible if Allie’s mother, Catherine (Maeve Quinlan), had not allowed her to go to Greece. Thankfully, she did, and Allie is with her father a long time after.
On arriving at the home, Allie is welcomed by her grandmother, Yiayia (Margarita Loumaki). She is delighted to meet his granddaughter. And so Theo, Allie’s uncle and George’s brother.
The ugly family drama unfolds at dinner when George and Theo argue about their past. Theo blames George for the things he has lost in his life, while George mentions that he has a good reason for leaving the family. The dinner table conversation becomes more ugly when George brings up the topic of Iris (Natalia Dragoumi) and blames Theo for stealing her from him.
Allie, who had never heard the name Iris before, was equally curious about her relationship with her father. And why was her uncle Theo, whose name she never heard before, blamed for stealing? Trying to clear things up with George at the dinner table,
Theo mentioned that he isn’t into Iris and is always there for his family. Trying to clear things up with George at the dinner table, Theo mentioned that he isn’t into Iris and is always there for his family. However, George didn’t understand him and left the family.
At night, while on the phone with her mother, Allie hears a strange sound that may be coming from outside of the room. At first, she thought her father was making the sound, but it was not. So she moves toward the direction of the sound, only to find her father lying on the ground, dead.
However, things get tense when the killer tries to attack Allie. In an attempt to protect herself, Allie slashes her arm with a knife. As expected, in the next moment, Allie found herself lying on the ground, unconscious.

Is Theo A Murder Of George?
A terrified Allie tries to convince Costas that she saw Theo in the room and that she had stabbed him with her climbing knife. However, to prove her point, she has no evidence. Furthermore, investigating officer Costas mentioned that his fellow officers searched the place and found nothing.
Allie tells Costas that he also noticed Theo’s rude behavior last night. However, Costas rejected her claim and mentioned that he saw him leaving.
Her grandmother also takes the side of a police officer and mentions that Theo and George don’t get along, but he didn’t do this to his own brother. Everyone raises their hand to believe Allie and her baseless claim. Now, she has to start investigating on her own and uncover the truth. Meanwhile, the report claimed that George died of a heart attack.
Disbelieved, Allie asked Costas to share the contact information of the Chief Medical Examiner. She can’t believe anyone who calls themselves an expert after making an error in the report. The report claimed that George was still married, which isn’t.
Allie even starts suspecting her father’s friend Costas in the crime. For Allie, everyone is on the raider of her father’s murder. However, things get far more interesting after she goes to her old family fishing boat. While looking for the evidence, Allie meets Andreas (Alexandros Theodoropoulos).
