In accordance with Carnegie Mellon's 2011 International Film Festival theme, 'Faces of Migration,' CMU presents 'Plato's Academy' (Akadimia Platonos)

Film Description: Stavros has been living the life, sitting outside of his convenience store with his three best friends watching other men work, but never really working himself. His days consist of either counting the Chinese workers or criticizing the Albanians with his loser friends. Then one day everything gets turned upside-down when an Albanian worker claims that he is Stavros' brother. All of a sudden Stavros' mother can speak Albanian. She tells Stavros that she left Albania when he was a baby, leaving behind another son. Stavros has to face the facts and try to figure out if he is the Greek man he always thought he was, or if he is suddenly one of the Albanians he and his friends always talk about.
