The Immigrant
Nestoras Matsas' classic melodrama set in rural post-war Greece is based on Alexandros Papadiamandis' short story, The American (1891).

The inhabitants of Skiathos Island prepare for the return of a native son after an absence of decades. Thinking that he is immensely wealthy, disappointment takes hold when he arrives sick and impoverished and wants only to spend the time he has left on his home island.
