"The Swatch", is true only to the extent that there exists a close loving family named Margiotis who came to America from Greece in the 1950's and whose parents had 7 children. 4 girls and 3 boys. There were 2 daughters named Vasiliki. Both were born to Maria and Kosta Margiotis. One born in Greece in 1951 and died at age 3 and a half in 1955 and the other was born in the USA in 1959 and died in 2007. But it's a fictional account of life events beyond age 3 of the first Vasiliki Margiotis. It's a fictional story of what life could have been like, if, Vasiliki survived her accident. In the story the family name was changed to Margos.
