Daniel is a businessman in his 50s, living a well-to-do life in Paris. One day, after securing his anonymity and gathering his courage, he invites Marek, one of the hundreds of boys who come or are brought to Paris from various countries in Eastern Europe for prostitution, to his home. The following day, someone knocks on Daniel’s door again, but this time Marek is not alone. Eastern Boys is about a desperate man’s confrontation with his own consciousness, his fears as he falls into the trap of a stranger who is invited to his personal space and inner world. Director Robin Campillo won the Grand Jury Prize in this year’s Cannes Film Festival with his new film, 120 BPM.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
