Cappadocia, a magical land, full of legends and traditions. There, amidst the mountains with eternal snow and the valleys with rugged rocks, a Hellenism forgotten at the ends of Anatolia lives and thrives, falls in love, gives birth, prays, processes, ages, and dies under the shadow of the volcanoes.
Kaisaria, Sinassos, Smyrna, and Pontus, the canvas on which the love story of Sevasti Chatzivavramoglou and Elmer Alexander Carter is embroidered during the years of the Great War, which changed the borders of the world. The population exchange in 1924 forever separates the two young lovers one bloody night at the port of Mersin.
Eighty years later, Elsa takes a journey to the ancestral lands, carrying with her the diary of her grandmother Sevasti. The American photographer Alex goes to Cappadocia to search for the traces of Professor Elmer Alexander Carter.
Underground cities, hidden churches, whirling dervishes, and a monastery with the smiling Virgin Mary intertwine in the personal stories and loneliness of the heroes, carving into the rocks an ancient rhapsody in which they are called to write the verses of the end. A story about the unforgettable homelands and the unforgettable loves.
