Cappadocia, a magical land, full of legends and traditions. There, among the mountains with their eternal snow and the valleys with their sculpted rocks, a Hellenism forgotten at the edge of Anatolia lives and thrives, falls in love, gives birth, prays, holds processions, grows old, and dies under the shadow of the volcanoes.

Caesarea, Sinasos, Smyrna, and Pontus form the canvas upon which the love story of Sevasti Chatziavramoglou and Elmer Alexander Carter is embroidered during the years of the Great War, which changed the borders of the world. The population exchange of 1924 separates the two young people forever on a blood-soaked night at the port of Mersina.

Eighty years later, Elsa takes a journey to her ancestral lands, carrying with her the diary of her grandmother Sevasti. The American photographer Alex goes to Cappadocia to search for traces of Professor Elmer Alexander Carter.
Underground cities, hidden churches, whirling dervishes, and a monastery with the smiling Virgin Mary intertwine with the personal stories and loneliness of the heroes, carving into the rocks an old rhapsody in which they are called to write the final verses.
A story about unforgettable homelands and unforgettable loves.
