MULTICULTURALISM
Day after day, Stavros rolls up the metal shutters of his tobacco shop, puts the newspapers in the window and sets out the seats on which he and his friends, owners of the neighbouring stores, sit all day looking at the street. On the pavement over the road one of them has a dog which, to its owner’s pride, barks every time an Albanian passes. If the truth be said, Stavros and his cronies aren’t overly fond of foreigners, not even if they do take the work the Greeks won’t touch, just as they don’t particularly like those Chinese folk who’re moving into the district. At the shop door, despite the love and attention lavished on her by her son, Stavros’ mother sits in an easy chair, bored to tears. But their routine is turned upside down one day when she stops to hug an Albanian worker in the street, calling him “My son!” (in Albanian). The thing is, what does Stavros really know about his parents? His mother always told him that, when his father died in the north, she moved with him to Athens when he was only a year old. Now Stavros’ friends look at him strangely: is he Greek or Albanian?
