Cappadocia, a magical land full of legends and traditions.

There, among the mountains with eternal snow and valleys with sculpted rocks, a forgotten Hellenism in the farthest reaches of Anatolia lives and thrives, falls in love, gives birth, prays, processes, ages, and dies under the shadow of volcanoes.

Caesarea, Sinasos, Smyrna, and Pontus, the canvas on which the love story of Sevasti Chatziavramoglou and Elmer Alexander Carter is embroidered in 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 in the port of Mersin.

Eighty years later, Elsa makes a journey to her ancestral land, carrying with her her grandmother Sevasti's diary. American photographer Alex goes to Cappadocia to search for the traces of Professor Elmer Alexander Carter.

Underground cities, hidden churches, whirling dervishes, and a monastery with the smiling Panagia intertwine in the personal stories and solitudes of the heroes, carving an old epic into the rocks in which they are called to write the verses of the end.
