Based on a real event during the World
War II…The marriage of Selva, daughter
of an old Ottoman General, to Rafael,
a Jewish Turk, is denounced by both
families. The young couple moves to
France. But their newfound peace is
shattered with the start of World War II
and the arrival of Nazi forces to France.
Now they have to pass each day in fear
of being sent to a concentration camp.
Their only hope is the Turkish diplomats
who are trying to protect all Turkish
citizens in Europe, while negotiating the
tight rope between the Axis and the Allies
without falling into the abyss of war.
