Beschreibung
An unforgettable story of the girl Scheherazade and the ancient Turkish city ***** One autumn evening in 1905, a little girl is born in ancient Smyrna, growing up in a Greek family surrounded by the scent of figs and the silhouettes of minarets. However, the idyll is interrupted by the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after which neighbors who once lived peacefully beside each other suddenly become enemies. The city is ravaged by fire, and three families — one Greek, one Turkish, and one Levantine — struggle to save what is dearest to their hearts. ***** The mysterious storyteller, quiet Scheherazade, gradually reveals her life story through tales of Smyrna — about awakening in the garden of a Turkish colonel, about life in a new family, and about the unusual feelings that gradually developed between her and the colonel.
