Toula was born in Australia to Greek parents. George migrated from Greece. They’ve been married 10 years, but don’t always see eye to eye. 

Toula works full-time, lives in a flat and hasn’t had children – choices she feels attract judgement from the Greek community. George is more comfortable with tradition. 

George and Toula is an honest and quietly tense look at how identity, culture and expectation play out inside a marriage. It’s not a culture clash, exactly, but something more layered.
