    • Synopsis
    • In 1955, a couple of prominent Greek Instanbulites adopt an orphan Greek girl from the “sacred” town of their origin. They offer her a powerful family name and ensure her devotion. Twelve-year-old Polyxeni is separated from her younger brother. She embarks on a new life and a future that looks bright. She receives an education, becomes of age and falls in love. She has a lust for life, all the while unsuspicious of the devious plan of annihilation that others are weaving behind her back, targeting her large inheritance.
