Roza of Smyrna

A once powerful family's closet is raided for skeletons in this romantic drama based on Giannis Giannellis's novel Ismael and Roza.

Preparing for an exhibition in the Turkish city of Izmir (formerly known as Smyrna before the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922), a collector of historic objects and curiosities, Dimitris (Tasos Nousias), finds an untold story waiting in the depths of a small antiques store: a wedding dress stained with blood, a photograph and a letter. These three items lead Dimitris and his girlfriend, Rita (Youlika Skafida, Apnea), to the enigmatic Roza (Leda Protopsalti), matriarch of a once powerful family who has been holding the weight of the past on her shoulders for decades.
