The Man Who Returned from the Heat
After twenty long years in Africa, an estranged father and now a successful middle-aged businessman decides to return home with his trusted valet to be once more a reassuring father figure; however, isn't it too little too late? Loukas has been living in Africa for many many years, working hard to send money to his family who has stayed in Greece. When the time has come to return home, he decides to surprise his family and arrives to Greece without telling them that he's coming. Loukas is anxious to see his wife and his grown-up children after so long, but they may not share the same feeling. —Chris Makrozahopoulos <makzax@hotmail.com> After leaving his wife, Eleni, and their two children, the now successful middle-aged businessman, Loukas Bobolas, decides to return home accompanied by his trusted valet, Hussein, after twenty long years in Africa. However, things won't turn out the way he planned--as, right from the start--the estranged father realises that he is reduced to a mere stranger in the eyes of his family. As a result, Loukas will attempt to be once more a reassuring father figure; however, isn't it too little too late? —Nick Riganas During the early 1950s, Loukas (Luke) Bobolas migrated to the Sudan to seek a new career in resource extraction in the area. He left behind his pregnant wife and their first child, but he continued to financially support them. By the early 1970s, Loukas is considerably wealthy and he decides to return back to Greece. He brings with him his loyal servant and right-hand-man Houssein. He expects to arrange careers and marriages for his grown-up children. He is horrified to discover that his son Andreas is a professional classical violinist, since Loukas dislikes musicians and associates them with traveling carnivals. His daughter Aliki (Alice) is engaged to an office worker, and she has no intention to marry a wealthier suitor in an arranged marriage. After trying to bully his children into changing their life paths for him, Loukas is shocked when they leave the family residence to seek help from a beloved uncle. Loukas belatedly realizes that his kids have no emotional bond to him and that they view him as a stranger. His estranged wife reminds him that he was never there during their childhoods or when the kids survived illnesses and personal problems. —Dimos I
