Synopsis:

A Family Affair is an intimate and intoxicating portrait of the renowned Xylouris family, who have been maintaining the musical traditions of their native Crete throughout their lives. Following three generations of the family--legendary Psarantonis, his son George, and his grandchildren Nikos, Adonis and Apollonia--the film moves between Greece and Melbourne where the children now live, study and play. The film is a portrait of family life, influence and legacy, as well as a thrilling examination of the way an age-old and vibrant musical tradition has been passed across generations and transcended national boundaries.

'A Family Affair' is an inspirational film about the power of family and music, told through the lives of Greece's most famous musical clan, from the island of Crete. The film captures the Xylouris family at a crossroads: fifty-year-old Giorgis performs non-stop to satisfy his passionate fans, while his Australian wife and manager, Shelagh, struggles to keep the family together. Their three children find new freedom abroad, but struggle to uphold the music of their homeland while finding their own voice. 'A Family Affair' reveals how this age-old and little-known musical tradition is passed on from father to son to grandchildren. It brings to light the redemptive but also obstructive power of a strong family, while bringing us closer to the intimate process of the creation of music.
