A drama of passion where the main characters are a sergeant and a prostitute who get married after a brief passionate idyll. Very soon, however, the influence of their environment has a negative impact on their relationship, and the man tries to break away but without success. The harsh light, the rock, the bare landscape and the military exercise, on the one hand, sensuality and constrictions, on the other. Because of her occupation, Evdokia both attracts and repels the sergeant.
The petit bourgeois environment, the lumpen elements, the social fringes and petty interests stifle the young couple, which appears to want to rebel, but doesn’t succeed. With everything moving between violent sensuality, cruelty, coarseness and total austerity, this “prosaic” story assumes the dimensions of an ancient tragedy. The inner struggle of the heroes, the conflict of desires and values, the straight- forward narration, vigorous pace, immediacy and sound construction constitute one of the most important works of Greek cinema.

A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
