This documentary recalls in detail the great periods of history, the characters, treaties and battles. It reminisces about the history of the Ottoman Empire, with its splendours and decline, and the ups and downs of the young Turkish republic.

Paintings, theatre and literature are a testimony to the powerful and reciprocal cultural influences which have always existed between Europe and Turkey. As such, Germany played a crucial role in Turkeys access to modern technologies. Beyond the chronological accounts of events, this film shows that these influences have lasted for many decades until the present day.
