To reunite with his grandmother, young Vassilis runs away from the orphanage, roams around the heart of Athens and then decides to take the train for Tripolis. He wanders about the mountainous regions of Arcadia and comes upon a young woman whose car has broken down. The two of them form an unexpected but equally beneficial alliance and continue their wanderings the whole summer, until the boy returns to his grandmother's house, a dilapidated ruin with no sign of life.
The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.
