Tucked away in this jolly film about the lives of expats on Corfu is
an extraordinary snippet. It is, according to Mary (a Shirley Valentine
who arrived in 1980 as a holiday rep and married taverna owner Nico)
cheaper to order certain food online from a UK supermarket and pay
someone to deliver it than buy it locally. Such is the state of the
Greek economy, even olive oil is cheaper.
The rest of the
documentary focuses on the work of wedding planner Sally, another rep
who stayed, although she didn’t marry because of her fiancé’s fiercely
traditional attitude to women.
