In This Waiting / Anna Tsiarta

Some two thousand Greek and Turkish Cypriots went missing during the bi-communal conflicts of the 1960s and the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974. Seven relatives of these missing recall their harrowing stories: from their last moments together until recent exhumations began to shed light on the possible fate of their loved ones. As they struggle to come to terms with what happened then and what the future may hold, their stories reveal how those events have shaped not only their lives, but also their divided country.

AKAMAS: the movie


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AKAMAS, Synopsis


OMERIS, a Turkish Cypriot boy, grows up with Greek Cypriots during the innocent years of his homeland. He has been taught that human beings have no differences, thought they call themselves Greek or Turk, Muslim or Christian. When he falls in love with a Greek Cypriot girl, he realizes that the world around is not as he expected. But the game of love is often painful: He has to find a way to win the girl's love. Later, he discovers that, what is natural for the rest of the world – to be together with the person one loves – for him turns out to be an adventure. He has to fight against the absurdity of fanaticism that invades his personal life and tries to crush it.




AKAMAS, Directors brief comment on the film

The story moves in a cycle, that is a process of knowledge. "Akamas" is a symbol. It is a peninsula, unique in natural beauty.
Panicos Chrysanthou

This unites the main characters of the film, when Cyprus is still living in the period of its innocence. But for them, having been forced to live there without the company of friends, it is a place of exile. Their dream is to find happiness living among other people. When they achieve this, they discover that exile can exist even among people. And this exile is the bitterest.




AKAMAS, Director's biography
