In this Academy Award winner—loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis— a prominent politician and doctor is killed, after giving a public speech, in what appears to be a traffic accident. But given the political climate, the death of such a prominent activist raises troubling questions. An investigation is launched to try to dispute claims of a police conspiracy, but a postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was behind his death. And a tenacious magistrate is determined not to let them get away with it.
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.
