Synopsis
All these years moving around, …. Nobody forgets Constantinople(Istanbul). Whoever remembers it, have great stories to tell.. The people who walked its old paved roads, brought back to Greece, something that later was called “Constantinople’s cuisine”. That was their passport. Going home they brought not only their luggage but much more. A whole civilisation. A lifestyle that is well preserved in their memories. Their memories that gradually are fading away. A documentary drama that revives the memories of a female Greek Constantinople citizen, as she watches from distance, 41 actors and dancers dressed in 30’s-60’s inspired costumes or naked, passing though history as a walk in the once so green Taksim Park.
