Eight-year-old "Tsatsiki" lives with his mother, a rock singer, in Stockholm. He's never met his father, a Greek fisherman who doesn't even know he's got a son. Tsatsiki's dream is to go to Greece and find his father because he doesn't like his mum's current boyfriend, the group's guitarist. But when his real father's not around, is there someway for Tsatsiki to choose another one for himself?
