Description

As the year 1955 is moving towards autumn, Turkey’s increasingly tense political atmosphere starts to cast its dark shadow on the glittering beauty of Beyoglu. Behcet is the only son of a man in whom the government takes a close interest due to his strong influence in Antakya. While working as a research assistant at the Faculty of Law in Istanbul, Behcet is falling under the sway of extreme nationalism as a result of his upbringing and the influential role model of his father. When Behcet falls for a Greek neighbour, Elena, he finds himself in a conflict between his feelings and politics under the shadow of the events of September 6th-7th in 1955.
