The catastrophe of Smyrna. A bloodstained dress. A hidden secret. History waits to be retold.

The enigmatic old woman, Rosa from Izmir (Smyrna), and the powerful Ismael have lived for decades with the weight of a well-kept secret. Dimitris, an avid collector of Greek objects in Asia Minor, is preparing an exhibition in a renowned museum in Athens on the culture of the nationalities who cohabited in Izmir before the genocide.

During a trip to Izmir with the museum’s curator and his girlfriend, Rita, he accidentally finds a bloodstained Greek wedding dress in a small antique shop. An old photograph, a bloodstained wedding dress, and a letter become the reasons to retell their story from the past.
