A family with three children has been living a serene life in their small home located next to a highway that has been unutilized since it was built ten years ago. One day, an unforeseen event occurs, and the highway is opened to traffic. The perpetual flow of cars and its noise overturn the order of this family that has been living in seclusion for years. The day-to-day lives they have built for themselves topple over. Bringing together the masters of European Cinema, Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet, Home is the first feature-length movie from the documentarian Ursula Meier.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
