Ironically during shooting in Assos, 8 miles across Lesbos Island, we rescued an ID in Arabic floating on the Aegean before our very eyes.

Slow paced

Katia, A Greek woman from Greece travels to Istanbul after her mothers' death in her attempt to claim the house where she grew up. In doing so memories from her past come back to life together with some secrets about their parents life. There she hires a Young local Lawyer to help her with her cause. Supposedly an attraction is being developed between them, an attraction that I tried very hard to spot it (I had to read a review from a Greek site to make sure that there was one). In the film there are being used both Greek and Turkish alongside with English dialogues. Overall I found the film very slow paced and left me wondering what was the purpose or the interesting aspects of the plot as I found it pretty boring and not coherent.
