Synopsis

Constantine and his wife, who are in their 70s, could not leave Istanbul, a city the Greeks were compelled to leave at different times for many various reasons. With the death of his wife, Constantine is overcome by thoughts and dreams about the past by associating his wife with Istanbul.

MUBI's take

Tracing the impact of Istanbul’s complex history on its inhabitants, Demir Özcan’s Bergmanesque chamber piece is an intimate exploration of memory. Weaving together an eloquent narrative of love and loss, this melancholic short looks into the soul of the city’s diminished Greek community.
