The film's central hero Aris lives in Athens with his agriculturist friend Thanos in an old house, which they have rented from Petros, Aris' teacher at the School of Journalism. The house comes alive mostly at night with discussions, anxieties, problems and romantic involvements of their friends. Until one day Thanos meets Stella, an actress who is a few years older than him. Her arrival in the house changes everything. A woman of strong character, she quickly makes her influence felt and events now follow rapidly. Aris, terrified, takes refuge in the past: in his village, which is also about to be destroyed, like Athens, like our planet.
Inspired by the exhibition Istanbuls Today, Today's Stories series continues with Özge Baykan Calafato's story "Cihangir"! This series gathers short stories written by authors encouraged by the photographs in the exhibition.
He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
