Reviews

Time Out London says that this, ambitious documentary, is a lengthy, slow-paced series of anecdotes narrated by those who experienced the horror of the troubles in Cyprus, both Turkish and Greek, which is, at times difficult to watch and poorly subtitled, This is a film, by the end of which peace, community and the experience of war take on much deeper meanings, where, the good nature of the people recounting their stories makes the actions of the past all the more incomprehensible.[1]
