Opis

It's 1969. The headlines lurch from hippie demonstrations for "peace and love" to war stories from Vietnam. On the edge of Europe, Turkey is fighting to emerge from its Ottoman legacy. As global turmoil seeps into the country, Bertan and his American fiancee, Sandy, travel from London to his provincial home so that he can do his mandatory military service. Unprepared for the traumas that await them, they walk into a family struggling with bankruptcy, smuggling charges and alcoholism. Determined to pursue their life together, whatever the obstacles, Bertan and Sandy begin to wonder if events will conspire to defeat them. While Bertan tries to hold together his family in Turkey and his business in London, Sandy, the uninvited outsider, makes a personal journey through a culture embedded deeply in the past. This is her dramatic, touching and funny true story."
