A thrilling Greco-Turkish love story on Australia's Greek Film Festival

The enigmatic old woman Rosa from Izmir and the powerful Ismael live for decades with the weight of a well-kept secret. An avid collector of Greek objects in Asia Minor, Dimitris, prepares an exhibition in a renowned museum in Athens on Culture of Nationalities who cohabited in Izmir before the Great Catastrophe of 1922. An old photograph, a wedding dress soiled with blood and a letter become the reason to retract their story from the past. The movie director, George Kordellas, talks to Panos Apostolou and Alexandros Logothetis.
