A story about unforgettable homelands and unforgettable loves.
Cappadocia, a magical land, full of legends and traditions. There, among the mountains with eternal snow and the valleys with embossed rocks, a Hellenism forgotten in the far reaches of Anatolia lives and thrives, falls in love, gives birth, prays, holds processions, ages, and dies under the shadow of the volcanoes.

Caesarea, Sinasos, Smyrna, and Pontus, the canvas on 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 in 1924 forever separates the two young people on a blood-soaked night at the port of Mersina.

Eighty years later, Elsa makes a journey to the ancestral lands, carrying with her the diary of her grandmother Sevasti. The American photographer Alex goes to Cappadocia to trace the footsteps 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 verses of the end.
