They grew up together. They fell in love. But everybody pressured them to separate. Omer was Turkish-Cypriot and Muslim. Rhodou was Greek-Cypriot and Christian. In Cyprus of political conflicts and fanaticism there is no room for the desires of ordinary people if these desires oppose the general trend. A film which brings together the traditional culture of Cyprus, the light of Homer and Greek tragedy
