00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,626
LESVOS, 2015

2
00:02:03,542 --> 00:02:06,209
Let's go to the hotel.
We shouldn't be here.

3
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:08,501
This is exactly
where I should be!

4
00:02:08,584 --> 00:02:10,501
It's dangerous
and you should not be seeing this.

5
00:02:10,584 --> 00:02:12,792
I have to see this!

6
00:02:16,376 --> 00:02:17,709
You are all good...

7
00:02:17,792 --> 00:02:19,834
Stand up, very brave girl.

8
00:02:19,917 --> 00:02:21,209
You can go.

9
00:02:24,751 --> 00:02:27,334
Thank you.
You have been very generous.

10
00:02:29,792 --> 00:02:32,626
Your contribution will make
a big difference.

11
00:02:33,334 --> 00:02:36,376
But you didn't have to come in person
all the way from New York.

12
00:02:36,459 --> 00:02:37,751
I had to.

13
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:40,584
I was born here.

14
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:42,126
In Mytilene.

15
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:45,751
My family name is Baltatzis.

16
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,626
Now I get it.

17
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:50,792
Come quick. More people have arrived.

18
00:02:50,876 --> 00:02:52,542
Thank you, once more!

19
00:03:27,126 --> 00:03:28,667
I couldn't sleep.

20
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:31,542
You can't walk around by yourself,
in the middle of the night.

21
00:03:31,626 --> 00:03:34,584
- And why not?
- You're surrounded by strangers.

22
00:03:35,751 --> 00:03:37,751
These are not strangers.

23
00:03:39,126 --> 00:03:42,126
I see my mother and my father
in their faces.

24
00:03:43,501 --> 00:03:45,709
You've never talked much
about your parents.

25
00:03:46,042 --> 00:03:48,917
My mother and father were refuges.

26
00:03:49,501 --> 00:03:50,792
Like these.

27
00:03:51,376 --> 00:03:54,251
The came here to Mytilene, in 1922.

28
00:03:54,459 --> 00:03:57,376
And the people of this island
were good to them.

29
00:03:58,459 --> 00:04:00,251
Why don't you talk about it?

30
00:04:00,542 --> 00:04:03,084
Because,
I thought these things were over.

31
00:04:03,876 --> 00:04:06,459
I thought the past, was past!

32
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,376
And I was wrong.

33
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:13,167
It's happening again.

34
00:04:21,292 --> 00:04:25,417
My mother used to bring us
to this very spot.

35
00:04:26,167 --> 00:04:30,251
She wanted us to look across the sea,
to the shore.

36
00:04:30,709 --> 00:04:33,126
Can you see those lights over there?

37
00:04:35,126 --> 00:04:37,626
That's were my mother came from.

38
00:04:39,001 --> 00:04:42,251
- Isn't that Turkey?
- It is now.

39
00:04:43,251 --> 00:04:45,417
But once it was Ionia.

40
00:04:46,042 --> 00:04:47,834
Once it was Asia Minor.

41
00:04:48,292 --> 00:04:50,542
Before Homer, before history.

42
00:04:51,251 --> 00:04:52,917
And at its center...

43
00:04:53,792 --> 00:04:57,167
was the most beautiful orient city.

44
00:04:58,292 --> 00:04:59,542
Smyrna.

45
00:05:01,251 --> 00:05:02,709
Smyrna.

46
00:05:05,376 --> 00:05:07,501
I want you to have this.

47
00:05:10,542 --> 00:05:12,292
My grandma gave it to me.

48
00:05:13,626 --> 00:05:15,876
She was a great lady, Filio.

49
00:05:17,042 --> 00:05:18,917
I was named after her.

50
00:05:19,917 --> 00:05:21,834
Recipes...

51
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:24,626
from Smyrna.

52
00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:27,084
It's a recipe book.

53
00:05:27,292 --> 00:05:29,709
She pretended
it was a recipe book.

54
00:05:31,667 --> 00:05:34,126
But really, it's a diary.

55
00:05:35,584 --> 00:05:36,792
Read it.

56
00:05:37,584 --> 00:05:39,209
It'll make you realize...

57
00:05:39,417 --> 00:05:42,334
who and where you are from.

58
00:05:43,834 --> 00:05:47,417
I realize now,
it would be a sin...

59
00:05:48,001 --> 00:05:49,376
our sin...

60
00:05:50,709 --> 00:05:52,084
to forget.

61
00:05:57,042 --> 00:06:00,376
<i>Smyrna, 26th of October, 1916.</i>

62
00:06:01,167 --> 00:06:04,876
<i>It's St. Dimitrios' day,
bless his holy name...</i>

63
00:06:05,251 --> 00:06:07,792
<i>and the street market's
as noisy as ever.</i>

64
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:16,334
<i>That never bothered me.
I was born and raised here.</i>

65
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:22,251
<i>That's how Smyrna always was;
Loud, enticing and cosmopolitan.</i>

66
00:06:24,167 --> 00:06:27,792
<i>We're celebrating my husband,
Dimitrakis', name-day today...</i>

67
00:06:28,084 --> 00:06:33,417
<i>and I'll make him baklava
and all his favourite treats.</i>

68
00:06:33,501 --> 00:06:35,626
- Good morning.
- Good morning, madam.

69
00:06:35,709 --> 00:06:37,792
- How are you?
- Fine, you?

70
00:06:37,876 --> 00:06:40,667
- Great. Your family?
- Fine, thank you.

71
00:06:40,751 --> 00:06:43,084
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, madam.

72
00:06:45,626 --> 00:06:48,376
Happy name-day
to Dimitrakis, Madam Filio.

73
00:06:48,459 --> 00:06:51,167
Thank you, Iordanis!
You always remember us!

74
00:06:51,251 --> 00:06:53,584
- God bless you.
- Thank you.

75
00:06:53,667 --> 00:06:55,084
Come, Zacharoula.

76
00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:00,334
Hello, Artin.

77
00:07:00,417 --> 00:07:01,959
Hello, Madam Filio.

78
00:07:02,042 --> 00:07:04,001
- These here?
- Yes, yes.

79
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,084
Madam Filio, where are you going?

80
00:07:08,167 --> 00:07:09,751
To the Turkish quarter.

81
00:07:09,834 --> 00:07:12,584
That's where you find the best spices,
Zacharoula.

82
00:07:12,626 --> 00:07:14,167
We always go there.

83
00:07:14,251 --> 00:07:16,334
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

84
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:18,501
- Spare some change?
- Change, right?

85
00:07:18,834 --> 00:07:21,834
- Quiet, here.
- Thank you.

86
00:07:24,001 --> 00:07:25,459
Good morning.

87
00:07:26,917 --> 00:07:30,584
- Good morning, Hasan.
- Good morning, madam.

88
00:07:32,501 --> 00:07:34,251
- Clove?
- Sure.

89
00:07:35,792 --> 00:07:37,751
- Some cumin?
- Right away.

90
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:41,501
Zacharoula, look.
They have the best stuff here.

91
00:07:43,834 --> 00:07:45,167
Zacharoula?

92
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:50,584
You mustn't walk around this quarter
all by yourself. It isn't safe.

93
00:07:51,917 --> 00:07:55,626
Halil!
I've always felt safe in Smyrna.

94
00:07:57,251 --> 00:07:58,417
Times have changed.

95
00:08:01,376 --> 00:08:03,042
Hear ye, hear ye!

96
00:08:03,126 --> 00:08:06,084
The greatest tenor
of the world comes to Smyrna!

97
00:08:09,126 --> 00:08:11,667
The famous tenor comes to Smyrna!

98
00:08:23,542 --> 00:08:24,834
Thank you, Halil.

99
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:32,959
- Good morning, father.
- Good morning, my son.

100
00:08:34,459 --> 00:08:37,126
- The master?
- He's at the factory.

101
00:08:37,334 --> 00:08:42,126
I wanted to check on lady Filio,
if she needs anything for tonight.

102
00:08:50,917 --> 00:08:53,584
Zacharoula!
Where on earth are you, silly girl?

103
00:08:54,084 --> 00:08:55,376
Coming.

104
00:08:55,459 --> 00:08:58,126
Bring me the almonds
to grate for the baklava.

105
00:09:01,167 --> 00:09:04,501
<i>Allah didn't take my soul.
He didn't...</i>

106
00:09:04,542 --> 00:09:06,459
<i>Allah didn't take my soul.</i>

107
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:08,542
<i>He didn't...</i>

108
00:09:08,626 --> 00:09:10,167
<i>On credit...</i>

109
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:13,792
Good morning,
look what I brought, Eftalia.

110
00:09:13,876 --> 00:09:16,667
- Stop! I'm not in the mood.

111
00:09:16,751 --> 00:09:19,042
We'll end up with only halva tonight.

112
00:09:19,584 --> 00:09:21,751
Be quiet.

113
00:09:21,834 --> 00:09:24,376
What's all this shouting?
What's going on here?

114
00:09:25,126 --> 00:09:27,167
Haven't you finished the baklava yet?

115
00:09:27,251 --> 00:09:30,376
I'm just about to, my lady.
Zacharoula is bringing the almonds.

116
00:09:30,792 --> 00:09:32,042
And then...

117
00:09:34,417 --> 00:09:36,251
What will I do now? God!

118
00:09:36,334 --> 00:09:39,626
They'll sack me.
I'll end up on the street.

119
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:42,001
Maybe you'll feel more at home there.

120
00:09:54,584 --> 00:09:56,667
OIL PRESS BALTATZIS

121
00:10:21,459 --> 00:10:24,167
Excellent quality. But, expensive.

122
00:10:24,501 --> 00:10:26,876
Our army needs huge quantities.

123
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:30,042
Being at a war for two years,
builds an appetite.

124
00:10:30,251 --> 00:10:31,459
Of course.

125
00:10:31,501 --> 00:10:34,459
And who knows,
when this war will be over.

126
00:10:34,542 --> 00:10:38,626
Soon!
Germany and Turkey are invincible.

127
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:41,126
Unless Greece enters the war.

128
00:10:41,584 --> 00:10:44,834
They say, it has the strongest army
in the Balkans.

129
00:10:45,626 --> 00:10:46,751
Mister Baltatzis...

130
00:10:47,376 --> 00:10:50,542
for the sake of all the Greeks
who live in Turkey...

131
00:10:50,626 --> 00:10:54,542
let us hope
that Greece remains neutral.

132
00:10:56,292 --> 00:10:58,292
Let's discuss prices now.

133
00:11:01,626 --> 00:11:05,751
<i>I have always liked to celebrate
this day with the people close to us.</i>

134
00:11:05,834 --> 00:11:10,292
<i>With our children, relatives
and the servants, as they are called.</i>

135
00:11:10,376 --> 00:11:12,501
<i>But for me, they are not servants at all.</i>

136
00:11:12,542 --> 00:11:14,959
<i>They are part of the family.</i>

137
00:11:15,167 --> 00:11:17,209
- Is everything ready?
- Of course.

138
00:11:17,876 --> 00:11:21,042
Good. The table looks lovely...

139
00:11:21,126 --> 00:11:24,334
Zacharoula, is that where we place
the wine glasses?

140
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:27,459
Why? Will the wine taste different,
if the glass is on the left?

141
00:11:27,542 --> 00:11:31,251
No, it's the house that's different,
if it is on the wrong side.

142
00:11:31,334 --> 00:11:34,542
Lord,
will you ever do anything right?

143
00:11:35,209 --> 00:11:36,459
She'll learn everything, madam.

144
00:11:36,542 --> 00:11:38,834
When? Will I live long enough to see it?

145
00:11:38,917 --> 00:11:42,126
- You will.
- That makes me feel better.

146
00:11:42,501 --> 00:11:45,792
- My sweet Filio.
- Daddy.

147
00:11:46,876 --> 00:11:49,417
What delicacies
have you prepared for tonight?

148
00:11:49,501 --> 00:11:51,209
Everything you can think of.

149
00:11:51,292 --> 00:11:56,834
Kidonato, hunkar beyerdi,
broiled oysters, soutzoukakia.

150
00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:58,751
We'll stretch our stomachs!

151
00:11:58,876 --> 00:12:01,209
You don't need to stuff yourself,
do you?

152
00:12:01,292 --> 00:12:03,834
You'll end up looking like a barrel.
We have plenty of those at the cellar.

153
00:12:03,917 --> 00:12:05,334
You know how a barrels rolls...

154
00:12:05,417 --> 00:12:07,626
- You look beautiful.
- Welcome.

155
00:12:09,834 --> 00:12:12,584
Welcome.

156
00:12:38,042 --> 00:12:41,417
Happy name-day! Cheers!

157
00:12:44,376 --> 00:12:47,876
- Happy name-day, father.
- Happy name-day, darling.

158
00:12:48,834 --> 00:12:50,501
My brother, happy name-day.

159
00:12:54,334 --> 00:12:59,292
Sorry I'm late but I had to deal with
a German officer about a large order.

160
00:12:59,376 --> 00:13:02,501
- I couldn't leave.
- Germans are the best customers.

161
00:13:02,584 --> 00:13:05,834
I hope they win the war
and settle in Smyrna forever.

162
00:13:05,917 --> 00:13:07,834
Good gracious, God forbid.

163
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:11,084
Shall we go through?
We can continue over dinner. Come on.

164
00:13:35,542 --> 00:13:38,459
Tomorrow night at eight, at Kadir's.

165
00:13:43,209 --> 00:13:46,376
Where is that wine?
Are you bringing it from the vineyard?

166
00:13:48,501 --> 00:13:51,834
- Not for me, s'il vous plaît.
- S'il vous plaît.

167
00:13:51,917 --> 00:13:54,959
She's a Levantine now?

168
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:57,167
Come on, father.
Don't tease her.

169
00:13:57,751 --> 00:14:02,126
We were with some Levantines yesterday,
the Girauds of Oriental Carpets.

170
00:14:02,917 --> 00:14:05,876
- We shared a table with our Governor.
- Rahmi Bey.

171
00:14:05,959 --> 00:14:07,459
Guess what he said to me.

172
00:14:07,876 --> 00:14:11,001
"I know that you're secretly helping
Venizelos and the Entente Powers,

173
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:15,001
our enemies,
but I will keep protecting you".

174
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:19,542
Of course my Spiros replied
"No, we are neutral".

175
00:14:19,626 --> 00:14:21,584
Neutral, brother?

176
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:27,501
- We are on our country's side.
- Tell me, how was my hunkar?

177
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:30,042
Don't worry dear, we're not arguing.

178
00:14:30,126 --> 00:14:32,126
There's no need for diplomacy here.

179
00:14:32,209 --> 00:14:34,667
We're Greeks
and we side with our homeland.

180
00:14:34,751 --> 00:14:38,876
Asia Minor is our homeland, brother.
We are Ottoman citizens.

181
00:14:39,584 --> 00:14:40,792
What do we stand to gain...

182
00:14:40,876 --> 00:14:43,876
if we support Greece
and damned Venizelos?

183
00:14:43,959 --> 00:14:47,626
- But it's not only about gaining.
- It's only about gaining, my boy.

184
00:14:48,084 --> 00:14:52,126
- Why should we put ourselves in danger?
- Why? Who would harm Smyrna, Spiros?

185
00:14:52,209 --> 00:14:56,626
The port is full of merchant ships.
English, French and Italian.

186
00:14:57,167 --> 00:14:59,334
They're protecting us.

187
00:15:02,917 --> 00:15:06,876
The British are shelling
the Turkish quarter again.

188
00:15:35,792 --> 00:15:37,126
Welcome.

189
00:15:39,834 --> 00:15:41,001
Thank you.

190
00:15:47,334 --> 00:15:51,251
- Not sure it's going to be good news.
- Your ambassador likes him.

191
00:15:51,334 --> 00:15:52,792
That's my point.

192
00:15:53,376 --> 00:15:55,709
The ambassador is waiting for you.

193
00:16:00,917 --> 00:16:03,251
William Dawson.
Nice to meet you, sir.

194
00:16:03,292 --> 00:16:05,584
George Horton.
My wife, Katina.

195
00:16:05,626 --> 00:16:07,626
Welcome to Smyrna
mister vice-consul.

196
00:16:07,709 --> 00:16:08,667
Welcome.

197
00:16:08,709 --> 00:16:09,751
Pleasure.

198
00:16:10,334 --> 00:16:14,042
We've been, anxiously,
waiting your arrival, as you can see.

199
00:16:15,084 --> 00:16:18,251
- All this chaos.
- I was a bit worried.

200
00:16:19,126 --> 00:16:20,126
Come in.

201
00:16:20,792 --> 00:16:23,709
The British want
to frighten the Turks a little.

202
00:16:23,792 --> 00:16:26,584
They never hit anything...
Thank you.

203
00:16:27,001 --> 00:16:28,376
Our ambassador...

204
00:16:28,626 --> 00:16:31,626
admiral Bristol,
has informed me about all that.

205
00:16:31,667 --> 00:16:34,001
But, isn't it a bit dangerous?

206
00:16:34,292 --> 00:16:37,459
This city has
a large number of Europeans.

207
00:16:37,792 --> 00:16:41,126
Yes, they are mostly British,
Italian and French.

208
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,126
We call them Levantines.

209
00:16:43,209 --> 00:16:45,876
Their countries are at war,
with Turkey, as you know...

210
00:16:45,959 --> 00:16:50,167
They'd never harm their own nationals.
They give a show now and there.

211
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:53,626
That is a very,
complicated situation.

212
00:16:54,876 --> 00:16:57,167
Everything is complicated in Smyrna.

213
00:17:03,834 --> 00:17:05,084
Halil!

214
00:17:05,417 --> 00:17:07,334
Come pour me some wine.

215
00:17:10,334 --> 00:17:12,667
Come and have some hunkar,
it's your favourite.

216
00:17:12,834 --> 00:17:14,459
Come and eat.

217
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,709
I'm not eating their leftovers.

218
00:17:19,834 --> 00:17:21,167
Have you lost your mind?

219
00:17:22,209 --> 00:17:26,209
Those Young Turks
have messed with your head.

220
00:17:26,292 --> 00:17:27,584
Why, father?

221
00:17:28,292 --> 00:17:30,417
We'll be building a new Turkey.

222
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:34,084
A Turkey that will belong only
to us, the Turks.

223
00:17:34,584 --> 00:17:37,876
Listen, in this city,
we're not just Turks.

224
00:17:38,834 --> 00:17:40,209
We're all Smyrniots.

225
00:17:40,792 --> 00:17:43,626
Yes, but we have
to wipe the dirt from their feet.

226
00:17:45,084 --> 00:17:49,167
Father, just wait and see...

227
00:17:50,209 --> 00:17:52,501
what's gonna happen
to those who help the Greeks.

228
00:17:53,209 --> 00:17:56,417
And Master Dimitrakis is one of them.

229
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:58,376
Shame on you!

230
00:17:59,834 --> 00:18:01,292
The master is a good man.

231
00:18:02,834 --> 00:18:06,584
He can't be a master
and good altogether.

232
00:18:07,834 --> 00:18:10,334
What are you talking about?

233
00:18:11,292 --> 00:18:12,917
They put you through school.

234
00:18:13,584 --> 00:18:15,167
To make me their chauffeur.

235
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:26,501
School isn't good for us.

236
00:18:27,709 --> 00:18:31,001
You should only see as far as
your own candlelight can reach.

237
00:18:35,751 --> 00:18:37,334
Old sayings, old brains.

238
00:18:38,584 --> 00:18:40,376
Sound brains.

239
00:18:42,251 --> 00:18:43,667
Be careful, Halil!

240
00:18:48,334 --> 00:18:51,001
You cannot keep looking
at Madam Filio the way you do.

241
00:18:51,626 --> 00:18:54,959
She is not one
of your hanum girlfriends.

242
00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:57,459
Isn't she? We grew up together.

243
00:18:58,792 --> 00:19:02,126
So many of our girls
have their eyes on you, but you...

244
00:19:02,459 --> 00:19:03,626
Halil!

245
00:19:05,667 --> 00:19:06,792
Halil...

246
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,459
<i>Smyrna, 1916.</i>

247
00:19:15,126 --> 00:19:17,917
<i>I've been worried
about my husband for a while now.</i>

248
00:19:18,001 --> 00:19:19,917
<i>We are not like we used to be.</i>

249
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:22,334
<i>It's not that I don't trust him.</i>

250
00:19:22,417 --> 00:19:26,917
<i>But he is always disappearing
and messing around with politics.</i>

251
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:29,542
<i>He never tells me anything.</i>

252
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:32,959
<i>He believes that women
know nothing about those things.</i>

253
00:19:34,376 --> 00:19:37,292
<i>That we're only meant to look after
the house and the children.</i>

254
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:40,792
<i>Sometimes I feel like I could burst.</i>

255
00:19:40,876 --> 00:19:43,459
Mama, aren't we leaving yet?

256
00:19:43,542 --> 00:19:46,292
Just a moment, my dear.
I was writing down a recipe.

257
00:19:46,834 --> 00:19:48,751
Go on down, I'm coming now.

258
00:20:16,209 --> 00:20:18,001
Get your tickets!

259
00:20:18,084 --> 00:20:21,584
The great Caruso
in Verdi's "Rigoletto".

260
00:20:24,792 --> 00:20:27,501
Caruso! Get your tickets!

261
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,042
Follow him.

262
00:21:04,709 --> 00:21:07,667
Halil, Halil...

263
00:21:09,584 --> 00:21:12,542
You're too protective of Baltatzis.

264
00:21:13,959 --> 00:21:15,667
It will get you into trouble.

265
00:21:19,001 --> 00:21:20,626
I'm only doing my duty.

266
00:21:20,709 --> 00:21:24,459
Your duty is to your country.

267
00:21:25,459 --> 00:21:26,876
He is an enemy.

268
00:21:27,751 --> 00:21:31,001
What are you talking about?
The man minds his own business.

269
00:21:31,626 --> 00:21:34,626
Is that why he's always with the bishop?

270
00:21:36,126 --> 00:21:39,292
Don't you worry,
he won't be doing it for much longer.

271
00:21:40,709 --> 00:21:43,417
Too bad. He's a family man.

272
00:22:00,626 --> 00:22:01,959
I summoned you here today,

273
00:22:02,084 --> 00:22:04,709
because the news
from Greece is getting worse.

274
00:22:05,251 --> 00:22:08,917
The division has put our country
in a tragic state of affairs.

275
00:22:09,917 --> 00:22:12,834
Venizelos has formed his government
in Salonika.

276
00:22:12,917 --> 00:22:14,917
The King is with his own in Athens.

277
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:17,834
Their supporters
are killing each other.

278
00:22:18,251 --> 00:22:20,292
Our homeland is being murdered.

279
00:22:20,376 --> 00:22:21,667
It's a disaster.

280
00:22:21,751 --> 00:22:23,459
My dear Tsourouktsoglou.

281
00:22:23,584 --> 00:22:26,084
They're about to excommunicate
Venizelos.

282
00:22:26,167 --> 00:22:30,376
He insists that Greece must enter
the war on the side of the Entente.

283
00:22:30,667 --> 00:22:33,376
The King insists
on Greece's neutrality.

284
00:22:34,126 --> 00:22:37,126
Maybe a small country
should stay out of the war.

285
00:22:37,167 --> 00:22:38,834
If Greece doesn't join the war,
Mr. Klimanoglou,

286
00:22:38,917 --> 00:22:40,626
the Allies will never win.

287
00:22:40,709 --> 00:22:43,626
And we will never be reunited
with our homeland.

288
00:22:44,334 --> 00:22:47,709
Only Venizelos can make
this Great Idea come true.

289
00:22:48,251 --> 00:22:50,417
He can make Asia Minor Greek again.

290
00:22:50,876 --> 00:22:53,334
We must keep
supporting him financially.

291
00:22:53,876 --> 00:22:55,334
But, with caution.

292
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:59,667
The Turks are suspecting
that we are aiding their enemies.

293
00:23:01,626 --> 00:23:04,126
Osman, bring me the Amalthia gazette.

294
00:23:04,751 --> 00:23:06,417
Whatever for, my boy?

295
00:23:06,501 --> 00:23:09,167
There's a World War going on, silly.

296
00:23:09,251 --> 00:23:12,084
I want to see
if Greece will finally take part.

297
00:23:29,792 --> 00:23:32,584
Zacharoula,
do you want to read it as well?

298
00:23:32,667 --> 00:23:35,751
- Finish up and come inside.
- Of course, I'm coming.

299
00:23:40,876 --> 00:23:42,334
Master Vassilakis?

300
00:23:43,376 --> 00:23:46,001
Is it true that the Greeks
might come here?

301
00:23:46,459 --> 00:23:50,126
Yes, indeed.
As soon as we beat the Germans, that is.

302
00:23:50,501 --> 00:23:53,251
Goodness,
the Turks will burn us alive.

303
00:23:55,001 --> 00:23:56,542
No, we will celebrate.

304
00:23:57,084 --> 00:24:01,126
Tell me, Zacharoula, what do you do
when you go out to have fun?

305
00:24:01,626 --> 00:24:04,417
As for me, you know,
I spend all my time out with my family.

306
00:24:05,667 --> 00:24:09,376
We have a different kind of fun.
We let our hair down.

307
00:24:09,667 --> 00:24:14,542
My girlfriends and I
go to the big tavernas, near St. Photini

308
00:24:14,626 --> 00:24:17,751
and we dance and we sing too.

309
00:24:18,501 --> 00:24:19,876
A bit of everything.

310
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:21,917
Can I come with you sometime?

311
00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:25,084
I want to see
how regular folks have fun.

312
00:24:26,292 --> 00:24:29,001
They have fun
because they do what they want.

313
00:24:29,084 --> 00:24:32,292
No buts, no musts...

314
00:24:33,917 --> 00:24:38,084
Zacharoula! Will you ever come
and clean the sardines?

315
00:24:45,959 --> 00:24:47,876
You know what?

316
00:24:47,959 --> 00:24:51,501
How about we go to the pastry shop first
to get some kunefe?

317
00:24:51,584 --> 00:24:54,792
- Aren't you going to buy me that dress?
- No, I am not.

318
00:24:54,876 --> 00:24:58,292
That is a grown woman's dress.
And you're not even seventeen yet.

319
00:24:58,376 --> 00:25:00,459
You are hiding my age
so you can hide your own.

320
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,542
Hey, let me be!

321
00:25:03,209 --> 00:25:04,834
Hello, Miss Mills.

322
00:25:07,501 --> 00:25:09,417
How nice to see you.

323
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:12,209
I was going to visit you,
one of these days.

324
00:25:12,251 --> 00:25:14,584
I wanted to ask
about Lefkotheas' progress.

325
00:25:14,709 --> 00:25:16,459
She's an excellent student.

326
00:25:16,542 --> 00:25:18,959
She could be accepted
in any university.

327
00:25:19,084 --> 00:25:20,376
Good, good.

328
00:25:20,501 --> 00:25:23,626
Women should be educated.
I totally agree.

329
00:25:23,792 --> 00:25:25,501
I needn't convince you of that.

330
00:25:25,584 --> 00:25:28,209
You speak more languages
than the tower of Babel.

331
00:25:29,001 --> 00:25:31,792
You know,
maybe God had Smyrna in mind...

332
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:35,792
- when he wrote that chapter.
- God needs to keep an eye on Smyrna.

333
00:25:36,501 --> 00:25:40,042
And, just to be safe, you,
need to keep an eye on Lefkothea.

334
00:25:40,126 --> 00:25:41,792
I will, if you say so.

335
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:45,376
- See you soon.
- See you later.

336
00:25:51,626 --> 00:25:53,917
I need to talk to you for a moment.

337
00:25:54,751 --> 00:25:58,292
I needed to talk to you
and I couldn't do it at the house.

338
00:25:58,376 --> 00:26:02,417
I have friends who are in Itihat
with the Young Turks.

339
00:26:02,501 --> 00:26:04,542
Surely you're not one of them.

340
00:26:05,042 --> 00:26:06,834
I'm not the issue here.

341
00:26:07,876 --> 00:26:10,542
Master Dimitrakis is considered an
enemy.

342
00:26:10,626 --> 00:26:12,876
They say he's helping the Greeks.

343
00:26:13,709 --> 00:26:15,584
They want to kill him.

344
00:26:16,876 --> 00:26:18,876
I don't want you to be in danger.

345
00:26:19,667 --> 00:26:21,209
You're exaggerating.

346
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:26,959
Welcome.

347
00:26:27,042 --> 00:26:28,751
My beauty.

348
00:26:30,126 --> 00:26:33,834
- Look what I made for you.
- Let me see.

349
00:26:35,167 --> 00:26:38,751
Coffee and cookies for Madam Takui.

350
00:26:38,834 --> 00:26:40,709
- Great.
- Bless you.

351
00:26:43,334 --> 00:26:47,084
You'll look splendid
at the premiere of Rigoletto.

352
00:26:47,792 --> 00:26:50,501
Come on, Madam Takui.
You are such a good seamstress.

353
00:26:50,584 --> 00:26:54,709
And to think that a few years ago
I had all my gowns sent from Paris.

354
00:26:55,292 --> 00:26:59,167
So, wear one of those
and come to the opera with us.

355
00:26:59,459 --> 00:27:02,209
I have a surprise for you.
A seat in our box.

356
00:27:02,917 --> 00:27:05,501
My darling, how can I come?

357
00:27:06,126 --> 00:27:08,251
I don't go out in the evenings
ever since...

358
00:27:10,292 --> 00:27:12,917
Caruso doesn't come to Smyrna often.

359
00:27:13,959 --> 00:27:15,501
You're coming.

360
00:27:17,459 --> 00:27:19,792
We had an opera house in Bursa too.

361
00:27:21,042 --> 00:27:25,917
You should have seen our house,
our garden, our silverware.

362
00:27:28,459 --> 00:27:29,834
All gone.

363
00:27:31,292 --> 00:27:33,542
I brought you apples, madam.

364
00:27:33,626 --> 00:27:35,626
Thank you, dear Osman.

365
00:27:46,584 --> 00:27:49,042
Aren't you afraid
of having Turks in your house?

366
00:27:49,584 --> 00:27:51,209
What are you talking about?

367
00:27:51,292 --> 00:27:54,042
They are not Turks. They're family.

368
00:27:55,251 --> 00:27:56,292
Yes.

369
00:27:56,376 --> 00:28:00,792
So were the ones who slaughtered
my husband and my children.

370
00:28:00,876 --> 00:28:04,001
No. That was something else.

371
00:28:04,251 --> 00:28:06,751
Those were Tchetas. Savages.

372
00:28:07,417 --> 00:28:10,834
These ones were born in our houses.
They love us.

373
00:28:11,834 --> 00:28:14,584
That's what we thought too, until...

374
00:28:19,876 --> 00:28:23,584
I wish I'd never come here
for my niece's wedding.

375
00:28:24,126 --> 00:28:26,459
I wish I had died with them.

376
00:28:26,542 --> 00:28:28,667
Don't talk like that.

377
00:28:29,001 --> 00:28:31,917
Every time I see a Turk,
my heart sinks in fear.

378
00:28:33,084 --> 00:28:36,792
Given the opportunity,
they'll do the same here.

379
00:28:40,542 --> 00:28:43,584
Calm down. Nothing will happen here.

380
00:28:44,084 --> 00:28:45,251
Nothing.

381
00:28:47,751 --> 00:28:50,251
<i>Smyrna, 1917.</i>

382
00:28:51,584 --> 00:28:54,626
<i>I was deeply affected by
Madam Takui's words.</i>

383
00:28:54,709 --> 00:28:57,917
<i>But then again,
this is how all Armenians talk,</i>

384
00:28:58,001 --> 00:29:00,626
<i>since the great massacre in '15.</i>

385
00:29:01,001 --> 00:29:03,959
<i>They say one-and-a-half million people
were lost then.</i>

386
00:29:05,084 --> 00:29:09,459
<i>And in Fokea, the same happened
with the Greeks, in '14.</i>

387
00:29:10,292 --> 00:29:15,459
<i>But things are different in Smyrna.
We have always lived in harmony here.</i>

388
00:29:16,042 --> 00:29:18,126
<i>And that can never change.</i>

389
00:29:43,209 --> 00:29:46,126
- What happened?
- He hit a high note.

390
00:29:46,417 --> 00:29:48,209
He's too loud.

391
00:29:49,501 --> 00:29:51,459
And he's even shorter than me.

392
00:29:51,542 --> 00:29:52,876
Be quiet, father.

393
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:55,542
You need to love opera
from a young age.

394
00:29:57,751 --> 00:30:01,334
Dimitris, Onassis is
in that box over there.

395
00:30:04,209 --> 00:30:06,501
He got even richer lately.

396
00:30:06,584 --> 00:30:08,917
Am I supposed to wave
at whoever gets rich?

397
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:12,751
Be quiet! Listen to the music.

398
00:30:13,542 --> 00:30:16,209
This is a performance
we'll always remember.

399
00:30:16,626 --> 00:30:19,209
And that is a tiara
I'll always remember.

400
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:21,751
Look at Lady Whittall.

401
00:30:21,834 --> 00:30:25,334
Not even the Queen of England
wears diamonds like these.

402
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:36,709
And?

403
00:30:37,334 --> 00:30:38,376
Baltatzis.

404
00:30:38,876 --> 00:30:41,751
- Do I know them?
- You've met several times.

405
00:30:42,001 --> 00:30:44,667
The wife is nice.
You like her.

406
00:30:45,042 --> 00:30:46,126
I do?

407
00:30:46,501 --> 00:30:49,751
Yes.
The sister-in-law was a nightmare.

408
00:30:50,876 --> 00:30:53,876
- Business?
- Olive oil.

409
00:30:55,334 --> 00:30:57,501
Not really our kind, dear.

410
00:31:33,584 --> 00:31:38,376
Look at the Baltatzis boy
flirting with their little maid.

411
00:31:49,834 --> 00:31:51,251
I'm dizzy.

412
00:31:52,459 --> 00:31:54,209
You can't hold your drink.

413
00:32:06,459 --> 00:32:07,792
Congratulations.

414
00:32:11,417 --> 00:32:12,751
Good evening.

415
00:32:13,292 --> 00:32:16,334
- What a wonderful evening, dear Filio.
- Indeed.

416
00:32:16,417 --> 00:32:19,792
It's an evening like this
that makes Smyrna irreplaceable.

417
00:32:20,084 --> 00:32:23,542
Honestly there's nowhere in the world
I would rather be.

418
00:32:24,084 --> 00:32:27,751
By the way, this is mr Dawson,
our new vice consul.

419
00:32:28,626 --> 00:32:31,542
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.

420
00:32:32,292 --> 00:32:33,334
- Excuse us.

421
00:32:33,417 --> 00:32:35,209
Good evening.

422
00:32:37,959 --> 00:32:42,501
I don't like the look of this Dawson
fellow. Why did they send him here?

423
00:32:42,584 --> 00:32:47,292
- Are we a bit jealous, Dimitrakis?
- Me? Jealous of the American?

424
00:32:47,376 --> 00:32:51,042
- You must be crazy.
- My dear Dimitrakis.

425
00:33:20,376 --> 00:33:25,334
If you ask me, the only music
worth listening to is our own.

426
00:33:25,792 --> 00:33:27,959
I only came here for your sake.

427
00:33:28,917 --> 00:33:30,792
Go get the car.

428
00:33:30,876 --> 00:33:33,126
I let Halil go.
We're not far from home.

429
00:33:33,209 --> 00:33:35,834
That's still too far for my legs.

430
00:33:35,917 --> 00:33:39,001
- But you won't see a doctor.
- I'll go to Hatcherian.

431
00:33:39,084 --> 00:33:43,667
- He is a gynaecologist.
- Perfect chance for me to meet someone.

432
00:33:44,667 --> 00:33:47,667
Come on, we'll drive you home.

433
00:33:48,376 --> 00:33:50,876
Madam Baltatzis,
delighted to see you.

434
00:33:51,084 --> 00:33:54,042
Mister Whittall, Miss Whittall.
How are you?

435
00:33:54,126 --> 00:33:55,667
- Good.
- Wonderful.

436
00:33:55,834 --> 00:33:58,126
- Wasn't it a wonderful opera?
- Indeed.

437
00:33:58,251 --> 00:33:59,584
Are you all here?

438
00:34:00,292 --> 00:34:02,792
It's just us, my father
and grandmother.

439
00:34:02,876 --> 00:34:06,876
Give my regards to lady... Whittall.

440
00:34:10,292 --> 00:34:13,126
Next Sunday we're throwing a ball...

441
00:34:13,209 --> 00:34:14,501
For the youth.

442
00:34:14,584 --> 00:34:16,667
At our estate, in Bournabat and...

443
00:34:17,126 --> 00:34:19,459
I would like to invite your daughter.

444
00:34:20,376 --> 00:34:22,834
- You two know each other?
- From afar.

445
00:34:23,834 --> 00:34:27,417
It's an honour, but,
I have to discuss it with my husband,

446
00:34:27,501 --> 00:34:28,542
Of course.

447
00:34:29,376 --> 00:34:31,709
- Good night.
- Good night.

448
00:34:35,792 --> 00:34:38,001
You're aiming very high, little one.

449
00:34:38,542 --> 00:34:40,417
Very high.

450
00:34:55,126 --> 00:34:56,459
Baltatzis!

451
00:35:32,042 --> 00:35:33,376
Master Dimitrakis.

452
00:35:34,501 --> 00:35:37,334
- Are you alright?
- I'm fine. Let's go.

453
00:35:49,876 --> 00:35:51,209
You wanted to see me.

454
00:35:53,251 --> 00:35:55,084
You were there, so you knew.

455
00:36:03,626 --> 00:36:05,084
Why didn't you tell me?

456
00:36:06,167 --> 00:36:07,501
I told you.

457
00:36:08,501 --> 00:36:10,084
They want to kill him.

458
00:36:11,709 --> 00:36:12,792
You didn't believe me.

459
00:36:12,876 --> 00:36:16,292
- You are with the young Turks, then?
- I am.

460
00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:22,251
Yes.
They don't mean any harm to anyone.

461
00:36:23,126 --> 00:36:26,001
But we cannot be slaves
in our own country.

462
00:36:26,334 --> 00:36:28,876
You are free to be whatever you want.

463
00:36:29,917 --> 00:36:32,959
Do you think I am free
to be whatever I want?

464
00:36:33,751 --> 00:36:35,626
Your husband wants me
to drive him around.

465
00:36:35,709 --> 00:36:37,834
But he'd never make me his partner.

466
00:36:37,917 --> 00:36:40,084
Even if I were better than a Greek.

467
00:36:40,459 --> 00:36:43,792
- Why are you talking to me in Turkish?
- That's my homeland.

468
00:36:45,167 --> 00:36:47,626
- That's my mother tongue.
- What's the matter with you?

469
00:36:48,126 --> 00:36:51,917
- You were not like that.
- Greeks were not like that either.

470
00:36:53,834 --> 00:36:57,334
Now they want Turkey to lose the war.

471
00:36:58,209 --> 00:37:01,126
Isn't that to be expected?
We are Greeks.

472
00:37:01,667 --> 00:37:04,042
This land has been ours for centuries.

473
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:05,792
Used to be.

474
00:37:06,667 --> 00:37:09,292
Now, it's our land.

475
00:37:09,709 --> 00:37:12,501
It's all so complicated in Asia Minor.

476
00:37:12,584 --> 00:37:14,959
Everybody claims it as their own.

477
00:37:15,667 --> 00:37:18,834
Go and get the car. I have to go.

478
00:37:25,417 --> 00:37:27,751
<i>Kordelio, 1917.</i>

479
00:37:28,126 --> 00:37:29,501
<i>The news from the front...</i>

480
00:37:29,584 --> 00:37:32,292
<i>have brought clouds
over Smyrna's blue skies.</i>

481
00:37:32,376 --> 00:37:35,001
<i>Of course,
everything goes on as usual here.</i>

482
00:37:35,084 --> 00:37:39,376
<i>We're busy preparing angel hair
and the trahana.</i>

483
00:37:39,459 --> 00:37:41,084
<i>And the winter desserts.</i>

484
00:37:41,167 --> 00:37:43,959
<i>My favourite
is the one made with rose petals.</i>

485
00:37:44,042 --> 00:37:48,292
<i>We boil a cup of sugar,
a cup of lemon juice and...</i>

486
00:37:48,376 --> 00:37:51,876
- One hundred rose petals, Madam Filio.
- Bravo. Sit down Ismini and help us.

487
00:38:00,126 --> 00:38:02,751
- Good morning, Osman.
- Good morning.

488
00:38:02,834 --> 00:38:06,084
- Is the syrup set?
- Let me see.

489
00:38:06,167 --> 00:38:07,417
That's too much.

490
00:38:11,876 --> 00:38:15,792
Why bother with all this?
I just leave it up to the servants.

491
00:38:16,751 --> 00:38:21,334
What are you talking about? I love it.
I am having so much fun with my girls.

492
00:38:21,834 --> 00:38:23,042
Cheers!

493
00:38:23,626 --> 00:38:24,834
Mama!

494
00:38:25,667 --> 00:38:29,251
The Whittalls have invited us
to their cocktail party, at their house!

495
00:38:31,292 --> 00:38:34,501
You? They have invited you, and not us?

496
00:38:34,584 --> 00:38:36,292
They know you already, dear Angela.

497
00:38:36,376 --> 00:38:38,959
They probably want to get
to know us, as well.

498
00:38:44,584 --> 00:38:46,667
The master is here with Madam Takui.

499
00:38:54,376 --> 00:38:57,876
- Vassilis, where are you going?
- To help.

500
00:38:59,292 --> 00:39:02,459
You invited the seamstress here?
I don't know what to say.

501
00:39:02,959 --> 00:39:04,126
So say nothing.

502
00:39:05,209 --> 00:39:06,751
She doesn't even know her place.

503
00:39:06,834 --> 00:39:09,709
What are you saying?
She was an aristocrat in Bursa.

504
00:39:09,792 --> 00:39:14,542
- Yes, but now she's sewing for money.
- You never know how life will turn out.

505
00:39:15,501 --> 00:39:17,709
The King is gone!

506
00:39:18,334 --> 00:39:22,251
The allies forced him out of Athens.
Venizelos is now Prime Minister.

507
00:39:22,334 --> 00:39:24,376
God bless them.

508
00:39:24,459 --> 00:39:26,917
Greece is entering the war.

509
00:39:27,834 --> 00:39:29,334
My love.

510
00:39:29,417 --> 00:39:33,709
<i>Venizelos, you,
the father of our homeland</i>

511
00:39:33,792 --> 00:39:37,334
<i>Venizelos, you,
the father of our nation</i>

512
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:41,792
<i>Venizelos, you,
the father of our homeland</i>

513
00:39:41,876 --> 00:39:46,209
<i>Venizelos, you,
the father of our nation</i>

514
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:48,917
- Wait, father.
- Sit down, dad, sit down.

515
00:40:09,917 --> 00:40:11,876
Stop flirting with everyone.

516
00:40:23,876 --> 00:40:27,501
Why are you standing all alone?
Won't you join the other young people?

517
00:40:36,959 --> 00:40:38,376
Lady Whitall.

518
00:40:38,459 --> 00:40:41,167
Thank you so much,
for your kind invitation.

519
00:40:41,292 --> 00:40:43,459
We are delighted that you are here.

520
00:40:44,417 --> 00:40:47,834
I hear, your daughter is very bright.

521
00:40:48,209 --> 00:40:51,834
- Miss Mills?
- She has her choice of university.

522
00:40:51,959 --> 00:40:53,334
How fortunate!

523
00:40:53,542 --> 00:40:56,834
But, wouldn't you prefer her
to get married instead?

524
00:40:57,042 --> 00:41:00,834
Married? No.
Women should be educated.

525
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:03,792
You cannot rely
on a family inheritance.

526
00:41:04,001 --> 00:41:06,917
Goodness!
You sound like a suffragette!

527
00:41:07,334 --> 00:41:11,417
I'm just a housewife,
but I have dreams for my daughter.

528
00:41:11,876 --> 00:41:13,376
Dinner is ready.

529
00:41:13,751 --> 00:41:17,292
- They are all waiting for you.
- Dear! Please, excuse me.

530
00:41:17,417 --> 00:41:19,959
I'm also just a housewife.

531
00:41:20,167 --> 00:41:22,917
Which means,
if I don't do things myself...

532
00:41:22,959 --> 00:41:24,626
nothing ever gets done.

533
00:41:27,417 --> 00:41:29,459
The mother is of certain dignity.

534
00:41:29,501 --> 00:41:32,251
It's not our money she's after,
which is even worse.

535
00:41:45,876 --> 00:41:49,167
Everyone has gone to bed.
Let's go as well, my lady.

536
00:41:49,626 --> 00:41:51,376
I cannot sleep tonight.

537
00:41:54,542 --> 00:41:57,084
- What's on your mind, my lady?
- My children.

538
00:41:57,459 --> 00:42:02,126
I am worried about Lefkothea
and the Levantine boy. About Vassilakis.

539
00:42:02,626 --> 00:42:07,084
I feel that Vassilakis
is fooling around with zacharoula.

540
00:42:08,209 --> 00:42:09,584
I don't think so.

541
00:42:09,667 --> 00:42:13,167
He is just helping her
because he is kind. Well...

542
00:42:15,584 --> 00:42:17,917
Don't stay too long, my lady.
It's humid.

543
00:42:18,001 --> 00:42:20,334
Go on and I'm coming right behind you.

544
00:42:25,667 --> 00:42:27,751
What are you doing here at this hour?

545
00:42:27,834 --> 00:42:28,876
- I will be leaving soon.

546
00:42:28,959 --> 00:42:30,876
- Where are you off
to in the middle of the night?

547
00:42:30,959 --> 00:42:32,251
To Smyrna.

548
00:42:32,542 --> 00:42:35,001
Take a seat, please.

549
00:42:37,834 --> 00:42:41,084
Is there a girl waiting for you there?

550
00:42:42,501 --> 00:42:44,417
That kind of thing is not for me.

551
00:42:44,501 --> 00:42:47,917
Why not?
It's time you settled down, Halil.

552
00:42:48,292 --> 00:42:52,376
You've left it long enough.
What about that Esme?

553
00:42:52,626 --> 00:42:53,917
She loved you.

554
00:42:54,626 --> 00:42:57,251
My mind was not on Esme.

555
00:42:57,834 --> 00:43:01,209
Filio, all my friends
are joining the war.

556
00:43:02,667 --> 00:43:03,876
They are volunteering.

557
00:43:04,459 --> 00:43:06,251
I might never see them again.

558
00:43:07,334 --> 00:43:09,167
I should have joined as well.

559
00:43:09,251 --> 00:43:12,251
What are you talking about?
We had to go to Rahmi Bey.

560
00:43:12,334 --> 00:43:13,501
We said you were sick.

561
00:43:13,584 --> 00:43:15,834
It was someone else's war then.

562
00:43:15,917 --> 00:43:19,667
Now, the Greeks have joined.

563
00:43:19,751 --> 00:43:21,792
But now you are losing this war.

564
00:43:21,876 --> 00:43:24,167
That's why I am ashamed
for not joining.

565
00:43:26,417 --> 00:43:28,667
You have two homelands.

566
00:43:29,792 --> 00:43:33,042
This one, where you were born
and the other one...

567
00:43:33,126 --> 00:43:35,084
the one that you dream of, Greece.

568
00:43:35,876 --> 00:43:38,751
We only have one. This one here.

569
00:43:39,126 --> 00:43:40,334
Yes.

570
00:43:40,709 --> 00:43:44,917
We have never felt free here,
even though we had everything.

571
00:43:45,334 --> 00:43:47,626
And we always felt inferior.

572
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:49,917
Why are you telling me all this?

573
00:43:52,084 --> 00:43:53,376
Because...

574
00:43:55,334 --> 00:43:56,584
Because you...

575
00:43:57,417 --> 00:44:00,959
You have a special place in my heart.

576
00:44:03,959 --> 00:44:07,959
A place that no one else can have.

577
00:44:21,834 --> 00:44:24,167
<i>Smyrna, 1918.</i>

578
00:44:25,501 --> 00:44:27,792
<i>Autumn has its own charm.</i>

579
00:44:28,001 --> 00:44:30,292
Even though it's a busy time with
all the chores we have for winter.

580
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:34,459
<i>Some things never change
for us women.</i>

581
00:44:34,542 --> 00:44:35,584
Newspapers!

582
00:44:35,667 --> 00:44:37,751
<i>No matter
how much the world does.</i>

583
00:44:37,834 --> 00:44:41,126
What's all that commotion?
Something's going on out there!

584
00:44:41,209 --> 00:44:44,001
Go and see, will you?

585
00:44:44,542 --> 00:44:47,251
- Shall we do the figs?
- What are you waiting for?

586
00:44:47,334 --> 00:44:48,626
Let me help.

587
00:44:49,626 --> 00:44:50,626
Like this?

588
00:44:50,709 --> 00:44:53,417
Give it here, I know how to do it.
Put the peppers in the jar.

589
00:44:53,501 --> 00:44:55,042
Go on, she's right.

590
00:44:56,251 --> 00:44:59,626
It's over. The war is over! We won!

591
00:45:04,251 --> 00:45:06,209
TURKEY IS DEFEATED

592
00:45:26,084 --> 00:45:28,292
Constantinople will be Greek again.

593
00:45:29,001 --> 00:45:30,376
We'll get there.

594
00:45:30,459 --> 00:45:34,209
Don't talk that way.
The Turks are angry now.

595
00:45:34,292 --> 00:45:37,917
Onassis is right.
Things need to settle.

596
00:45:38,001 --> 00:45:41,626
Everything will be settled when
Venizelos gets here with the Greeks.

597
00:45:41,709 --> 00:45:45,042
The Allies have promised
to give Smyrna back to us.

598
00:45:45,626 --> 00:45:48,959
Phillip,
Smyrna will become Greek again.

599
00:45:49,417 --> 00:45:51,709
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but that's impossible.

600
00:45:52,584 --> 00:45:54,501
The Turks will react violently.

601
00:45:54,709 --> 00:45:58,001
The only solution for Smyrna,
is to become autonomous.

602
00:45:58,251 --> 00:46:00,251
With England as guarantor.

603
00:46:01,834 --> 00:46:05,251
Asia Minor has always been Greek.

604
00:46:05,334 --> 00:46:07,501
Gentlemen, calm down.

605
00:46:07,584 --> 00:46:09,834
Let us not argue.

606
00:46:09,917 --> 00:46:12,376
As if we needed the British
to watch over us!

607
00:46:12,834 --> 00:46:16,542
Smyrna has been Greek
for three thousand years.

608
00:46:16,626 --> 00:46:19,792
If you want your daughter
to marry Whittall's boy...

609
00:46:19,876 --> 00:46:21,876
don't contradict him.

610
00:46:21,959 --> 00:46:25,792
Who says my Lefkothea
wants to marry the Levantine boy?

611
00:46:25,876 --> 00:46:27,167
The whole town says so.

612
00:46:27,251 --> 00:46:31,334
And don't get too excited.
I don't trust the Allies.

613
00:46:31,417 --> 00:46:34,917
Let us enjoy it, brother. Cheers.

614
00:46:35,501 --> 00:46:38,459
- To Smyrna!
- To Smyrna!

615
00:46:39,501 --> 00:46:40,751
Let's go!

616
00:46:41,459 --> 00:46:45,584
- Let's go to the port!
- It's early, they'll be here at dawn.

617
00:46:45,667 --> 00:46:46,917
You'll wait for hours.

618
00:46:46,959 --> 00:46:49,292
We've waited for five hundred years,
mother.

619
00:46:49,334 --> 00:46:50,917
What's a few hours more?

620
00:46:51,001 --> 00:46:52,959
- Go on.
- Let's go.

621
00:46:53,542 --> 00:46:55,876
<i>Smyrna, 1919.</i>

622
00:46:56,584 --> 00:46:59,042
<i>The dream came true.</i>

623
00:46:59,626 --> 00:47:02,167
<i>The great leaders,
Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Wilson,</i>

624
00:47:02,251 --> 00:47:05,667
<i>gave venizelos the order...</i>

625
00:47:05,751 --> 00:47:08,292
<i>to send his army to Smyrna.</i>

626
00:47:08,917 --> 00:47:12,876
<i>Blue and white flags were...</i>

627
00:47:13,251 --> 00:47:15,167
<i>waving joyfully everywhere...</i>

628
00:47:15,542 --> 00:47:18,751
<i>even inside us...</i>

629
00:47:18,834 --> 00:47:21,751
<i>following the beating of our hearts.</i>

630
00:47:24,584 --> 00:47:29,334
- May you reach Constantinople!
- And Hagia Sophia!

631
00:47:29,417 --> 00:47:31,126
They've gone too far.

632
00:47:31,209 --> 00:47:34,001
Who knows what will happen
once the celebration is over.

633
00:47:34,084 --> 00:47:38,376
No matter what happens,
we'll never forget this day.

634
00:47:38,792 --> 00:47:41,084
<i>And I remembered my grandmother saying,</i>

635
00:47:41,376 --> 00:47:45,792
<i>"Make sure you keep
good memories alive,</i>

636
00:47:46,001 --> 00:47:49,167
<i>should hard times come,
they'll help you survive".</i>

637
00:49:54,501 --> 00:49:55,584
Mommy!

638
00:50:02,042 --> 00:50:03,126
Mommy!

639
00:50:03,584 --> 00:50:06,709
<i>It was the first time
we'd seen blood on the waterfront.</i>

640
00:50:06,917 --> 00:50:09,501
<i>Even the rain couldn't wash it away.</i>

641
00:50:10,751 --> 00:50:12,876
<i>They did it on purpose...</i>

642
00:50:13,376 --> 00:50:16,001
<i>to make us look weak to the Allies.</i>

643
00:50:16,667 --> 00:50:18,709
<i>Let's see what will happen...</i>

644
00:50:18,792 --> 00:50:22,626
<i>now that the High Commissioner
has arrived from Greece.</i>

645
00:50:41,792 --> 00:50:45,501
I will bring peace to this city.
Even by force, if necessary.

646
00:50:46,751 --> 00:50:51,376
Your Excellency, Mr. Stergiadis,
that won't be necessary.

647
00:50:52,251 --> 00:50:56,751
We have been waiting for 466 years
to have a Greek Governor in Smyrna.

648
00:50:57,126 --> 00:50:59,417
Let's not start with violence.

649
00:50:59,751 --> 00:51:04,917
Don't expect any favors.
Turks and Greeks are the same to me.

650
00:51:05,209 --> 00:51:08,042
But the Turks had a plan.

651
00:51:08,751 --> 00:51:11,042
The attack on our army was not random.

652
00:51:11,126 --> 00:51:13,376
And the Greeks retaliated.

653
00:51:13,667 --> 00:51:15,209
To defend themselves.

654
00:51:15,292 --> 00:51:17,459
You, on the other hand...

655
00:51:17,542 --> 00:51:20,292
shot two of our own boys
to punish them.

656
00:51:20,376 --> 00:51:21,834
Your Holliness.

657
00:51:22,667 --> 00:51:25,001
You just run your Church.

658
00:51:26,292 --> 00:51:27,917
I'll run the City.

659
00:51:54,334 --> 00:51:57,334
We're so happy
to have you back with us!

660
00:51:57,459 --> 00:52:00,084
We missed you and Smyrna so much.

661
00:52:00,751 --> 00:52:04,292
The city seems to be blooming,
ever since Stergiadis got here.

662
00:52:04,376 --> 00:52:06,126
It seems Venizelos was right.

663
00:52:06,167 --> 00:52:08,501
The governor seems capable.

664
00:52:08,584 --> 00:52:11,667
He's a diplomat.
He treats Greeks and Turks evenly.

665
00:52:11,834 --> 00:52:12,876
Are you mad?

666
00:52:13,042 --> 00:52:14,584
The man is terrible.

667
00:52:14,667 --> 00:52:17,626
He tells the general what to do,
the bishop, what to do.

668
00:52:17,709 --> 00:52:19,501
He gets involved in everything.

669
00:52:19,584 --> 00:52:23,084
The bishop gets involved too
but you don't seem angry at him.

670
00:52:23,167 --> 00:52:26,501
He is a patriot.
Stergiadis is not.

671
00:52:28,334 --> 00:52:29,459
Excuse me.

672
00:52:30,792 --> 00:52:32,084
Dimitrakis!

673
00:52:32,167 --> 00:52:33,417
- I'm so sorry.
- No...

674
00:52:33,501 --> 00:52:34,959
How are you?

675
00:52:42,334 --> 00:52:43,501
Halil?

676
00:53:03,542 --> 00:53:05,792
Why did he have
to join Kemal's rebels?

677
00:53:06,459 --> 00:53:08,876
Why did he do such a foolish thing?

678
00:53:09,459 --> 00:53:13,917
He calls Kemal a leader.
He says he will resurrect our country.

679
00:53:14,001 --> 00:53:16,209
He will destroy it.

680
00:53:17,001 --> 00:53:21,126
He is a nationalist, I'm telling you.

681
00:53:21,792 --> 00:53:23,959
He wants to slaughter the Greeks...

682
00:53:24,667 --> 00:53:27,209
so that only Turks remain here.

683
00:53:27,542 --> 00:53:31,584
But our army
has been winning on all fronts.

684
00:53:32,292 --> 00:53:34,001
But why, master,

685
00:53:34,084 --> 00:53:39,626
is your army killing people
who live peacefully in their villages?

686
00:53:39,959 --> 00:53:42,084
Not that peacefully.

687
00:53:42,584 --> 00:53:47,251
Do you know how many Greeks
are found dead every day?

688
00:53:48,209 --> 00:53:52,626
Our army has to march on
to protect them.

689
00:53:53,126 --> 00:53:54,709
What did they expect?

690
00:53:54,792 --> 00:53:57,209
That the Turks would just
sit back and take it?

691
00:53:57,751 --> 00:54:01,042
The Greeks came over
to occupy our country.

692
00:54:01,751 --> 00:54:06,251
They didn't just come on their own.
The Allies sent them.

693
00:54:06,959 --> 00:54:10,334
Asia Minor has always been Greek.

694
00:54:11,084 --> 00:54:15,209
This land has always been ours.

695
00:54:16,084 --> 00:54:19,042
We used to be brothers.

696
00:54:20,709 --> 00:54:23,667
My heart is aching with all this.

697
00:54:25,209 --> 00:54:30,876
Come on, let's drink some raki
to make the pain go away.

698
00:54:32,501 --> 00:54:33,584
Come on.

699
00:54:33,667 --> 00:54:35,501
Come on, brother.

700
00:55:53,042 --> 00:55:55,042
Shame on you, Master Vassilakis.

701
00:55:55,334 --> 00:55:57,084
I didn't expect this from you.

702
00:55:57,584 --> 00:56:00,459
You shouldn't have let the orphan girl
fall in love with you.

703
00:56:00,542 --> 00:56:01,667
Why?

704
00:56:02,417 --> 00:56:04,626
- Is it that bad?
- It is.

705
00:56:05,001 --> 00:56:08,876
- Your mother took pity on her...
- And brought her home.

706
00:56:11,251 --> 00:56:12,626
But that's it.

707
00:56:14,667 --> 00:56:17,084
She will never let you
marry a servant girl.

708
00:56:23,001 --> 00:56:24,459
Don't call her that again.

709
00:56:25,417 --> 00:56:26,626
Ever.

710
00:56:33,376 --> 00:56:35,501
I never saw this coming from Halil.

711
00:56:36,084 --> 00:56:39,542
Sneaking out of here, like a thief,
in the middle of the night.

712
00:56:40,167 --> 00:56:43,792
His thoughts were with you
up until he left.

713
00:56:44,001 --> 00:56:48,959
He said things are going to get
dangerous with Kemal around.

714
00:56:49,334 --> 00:56:52,542
You need to leave.

715
00:56:53,209 --> 00:56:55,417
Leave Smyrna?

716
00:56:56,001 --> 00:56:58,292
Leave our homeland?

717
00:56:58,626 --> 00:57:01,417
That will never happen.

718
00:57:01,751 --> 00:57:04,251
Never! Never...

719
00:57:15,417 --> 00:57:18,959
- What a great success for Venizelos.
- He has outdone himself.

720
00:57:19,459 --> 00:57:22,626
He's really outdone himself
with the Treaty of Sevres.

721
00:57:22,709 --> 00:57:23,876
It's all ours.

722
00:57:23,959 --> 00:57:27,917
Thrace, the Dodecanese,
the Aegean Islands, Smyrna.

723
00:57:28,001 --> 00:57:30,459
They didn't give us Smyrna.

724
00:57:31,792 --> 00:57:34,542
- What are you saying, Socrates?
- He is right.

725
00:57:34,626 --> 00:57:38,209
They have given it to us for five years.
Then, they will hold a referendum.

726
00:57:38,292 --> 00:57:40,709
And it will officially be Greek.

727
00:57:41,042 --> 00:57:44,042
Until then, the Greeks
will have to keep fighting a war...

728
00:57:44,334 --> 00:57:47,334
so that the Allies can share
the wealth of the Empire.

729
00:57:47,417 --> 00:57:51,709
Exactly.
And they won't sacrifice a single man.

730
00:57:51,792 --> 00:57:54,376
They're after a proxy war.

731
00:57:54,792 --> 00:57:57,126
- Spiros, don't start again.
- Father.

732
00:57:57,959 --> 00:58:01,209
Let's get going.
Mother is expecting us at the factory.

733
00:58:02,459 --> 00:58:04,501
- Goodbye.
- Bye.

734
00:58:06,042 --> 00:58:10,042
- Here's to Greece, to our Allies.
- To Asia Minor.

735
00:58:10,459 --> 00:58:12,251
To Venizelos.

736
00:58:12,334 --> 00:58:14,626
- Cheers, Vassilakis.
- Filio, come here.

737
00:58:16,167 --> 00:58:19,292
Nothing is good enough for them.
Not even the Treaty of Sevres.

738
00:58:19,626 --> 00:58:21,292
I'm not sure what to tell you there,
Dimitrakis.

739
00:58:21,417 --> 00:58:24,459
I don't think this Treaty
is sound, either.

740
00:58:24,501 --> 00:58:27,459
It was signed in Sevres,
where they make porcelain.

741
00:58:27,792 --> 00:58:29,376
Fragile things.

742
00:58:29,792 --> 00:58:32,209
This treaty looks like
a cracked vase to me.

743
00:58:32,792 --> 00:58:34,626
What nonsense is this?

744
00:58:34,709 --> 00:58:38,292
The Treaty is final.
Even the Sultan signed it.

745
00:58:38,376 --> 00:58:41,292
- What about Kemal?
- Who's Kemal, anyway?

746
00:58:41,376 --> 00:58:44,751
Just a rebel, leading a bunch
of anarchists, without arms.

747
00:58:44,834 --> 00:58:47,417
Yes, but he's got them all
fighting for him.

748
00:58:48,126 --> 00:58:50,001
We need to help our army.

749
00:58:50,626 --> 00:58:53,459
I've made up my mind.
I will join as a volunteer, mother.

750
00:58:54,209 --> 00:58:58,042
Do you want me to die?
Smyrniots don't go to war.

751
00:58:58,126 --> 00:59:02,251
They know nothing about fighting.
Say something to him for heaven's sake!

752
00:59:03,376 --> 00:59:04,876
Your mother is right.

753
00:59:08,751 --> 00:59:11,876
You're one to talk. You were
getting us riled up about the homeland.

754
00:59:11,959 --> 00:59:14,876
- Not so loud.
- It's my fault for even asking you.

755
00:59:14,959 --> 00:59:17,792
Vassilakis, please listen to me.

756
00:59:17,876 --> 00:59:20,709
You're about to study
at the Ionian University.

757
00:59:20,792 --> 00:59:23,084
That doesn't start till September '22.

758
00:59:23,167 --> 00:59:26,001
- We'll have won by then.
- You will not be going anywhere.

759
00:59:26,084 --> 00:59:29,251
You'll do as I say.
You are getting too big for your shoes!

760
00:59:29,834 --> 00:59:33,167
Listen to me. It's not proper
to be yelling like this here.

761
00:59:33,417 --> 00:59:37,001
We'll discuss it
and then decide together what to do.

762
00:59:42,251 --> 00:59:45,584
Didn't I tell you, you have no idea
what is going on in your own home?

763
00:59:45,667 --> 00:59:46,751
You were right.

764
00:59:51,042 --> 00:59:53,042
And as for Lefkothea...

765
00:59:53,126 --> 00:59:56,792
tell that Whittall boy, that if he wants
her, he'd better ask for her hand.

766
00:59:56,876 --> 00:59:58,709
Otherwise he's not to step foot
in here again!

767
00:59:58,792 --> 01:00:01,001
We're not going to beg them.

768
01:00:01,334 --> 01:00:04,376
Alright. As you wish, Dimitrakis.

769
01:00:04,959 --> 01:00:06,251
As you wish.

770
01:00:16,001 --> 01:00:17,417
No tea for me.

771
01:00:17,501 --> 01:00:19,542
Some turkish coffee please.

772
01:00:20,417 --> 01:00:24,001
You see my dear,
we're worlds apart.

773
01:00:24,209 --> 01:00:27,709
We couldn't do without our tea
and you drink coffee.

774
01:00:28,042 --> 01:00:31,459
We go to bed at ten
and you stay up all night.

775
01:00:31,751 --> 01:00:35,042
And we keep our voices down,
even when we argue.

776
01:00:35,126 --> 01:00:37,626
And you Greeks shout all the time.

777
01:00:37,959 --> 01:00:41,251
What can these two children,
possibly have in common?

778
01:00:41,709 --> 01:00:43,751
- Love.
- Love?

779
01:00:43,876 --> 01:00:47,751
That's hardly a prerequisite
for a successful marriage.

780
01:00:48,167 --> 01:00:50,126
Greeks marry out of passion.

781
01:00:50,376 --> 01:00:52,876
Haven't you noticed,
the way your grandson...

782
01:00:52,959 --> 01:00:54,709
Eddie, looks at my daughter?

783
01:00:54,751 --> 01:00:57,292
I'm not blind.
Yes, it's true.

784
01:00:57,459 --> 01:01:00,084
I underestimated
my grandson's emotions.

785
01:01:00,167 --> 01:01:03,334
I thought he'd be more interested
in the family business.

786
01:01:04,459 --> 01:01:07,501
You know,
money rolls and flies, we say.

787
01:01:07,584 --> 01:01:09,792
So, you better spend it
while you are alive.

788
01:01:09,876 --> 01:01:12,792
My daughter does not need wealth.

789
01:01:13,001 --> 01:01:14,792
She needs happiness.

790
01:01:15,084 --> 01:01:16,626
And so does Eddie.

791
01:01:16,876 --> 01:01:20,126
I didn't think,
Greeks were so straightforward.

792
01:01:20,251 --> 01:01:22,459
Well, we are part anatolians.

793
01:01:22,584 --> 01:01:24,167
We hide some things.

794
01:01:24,209 --> 01:01:26,501
But we expose our emotions.

795
01:01:26,959 --> 01:01:29,834
You are a strong woman.

796
01:01:30,084 --> 01:01:32,126
Your daughter must be as well.

797
01:01:32,209 --> 01:01:35,792
I imagine, Eddie is used to strong women.

798
01:01:35,917 --> 01:01:39,292
Sometimes it's dangerous
to set a precedent.

799
01:01:42,501 --> 01:01:44,626
We'll have the engagement here.

800
01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:47,417
With all of Smyrna.
Everybody we know.

801
01:01:48,417 --> 01:01:51,126
No, no. Just a few people.

802
01:01:51,251 --> 01:01:54,084
You know, I'm afraid of the evil eye.

803
01:01:54,376 --> 01:01:56,167
That is so greek!

804
01:02:13,042 --> 01:02:16,126
My love, how can you leave like this?

805
01:02:16,417 --> 01:02:19,709
At night like a thief,
without saying goodbye to anyone?

806
01:02:19,792 --> 01:02:21,751
All I need is you, Zacharoula.

807
01:02:23,042 --> 01:02:24,459
Wish me luck.

808
01:02:24,876 --> 01:02:26,251
Kiss my family for me.

809
01:02:26,751 --> 01:02:31,209
They were so happy about Lefkothea's
engagement and you're going to...

810
01:02:42,417 --> 01:02:43,626
Wait.

811
01:02:49,792 --> 01:02:51,501
Give me your hand.

812
01:02:53,542 --> 01:02:56,292
It's the only thing
I have left from my mother.

813
01:02:57,001 --> 01:02:58,834
It will protect you, my love.

814
01:03:06,209 --> 01:03:07,626
Be careful.

815
01:03:10,417 --> 01:03:11,751
Zacharoula...

816
01:03:13,542 --> 01:03:14,709
I love you.

817
01:03:17,417 --> 01:03:20,542
Me too. I love you too.

818
01:03:29,459 --> 01:03:31,667
<i>Smyrna, 1920.</i>

819
01:03:32,084 --> 01:03:35,251
<i>For months now, vassilakis
has been fighting on the front.</i>

820
01:03:35,334 --> 01:03:36,917
<i>And I am worried sick.</i>

821
01:03:38,042 --> 01:03:41,459
<i>My daughter spends all her time
in Bournabat with Eddie.</i>

822
01:03:41,542 --> 01:03:44,834
<i>My husband has gone to Athens.
So now the house feels empty.</i>

823
01:03:45,709 --> 01:03:49,084
<i>Oh! How we used to enjoy preparing
the stew.</i>

824
01:03:49,167 --> 01:03:52,292
<i>With brandy, honey and fresh...</i>

825
01:03:52,376 --> 01:03:56,542
- The quinces you asked for.
- Good, I'll get started on dinner.

826
01:03:58,001 --> 01:04:00,001
Why bother?

827
01:04:01,001 --> 01:04:03,292
Just for us eating here in the kitchen?

828
01:04:03,376 --> 01:04:05,959
For the occasion.
It's your husband's name day.

829
01:04:06,042 --> 01:04:08,584
Yes? So where is he then?

830
01:04:08,667 --> 01:04:12,292
He'll be back any day now.
Once Venizelos wins the elections.

831
01:04:12,376 --> 01:04:14,792
Don't be so sure.

832
01:04:15,126 --> 01:04:17,584
They tried to kill him
this summer.

833
01:04:18,209 --> 01:04:22,376
And his men killed that poor lad,
Dragoumis.

834
01:04:22,876 --> 01:04:28,084
Forgive me, my sultana, but you Greeks
keep killing each other.

835
01:04:37,376 --> 01:04:40,334
Osman has changed too.
He misses his son.

836
01:04:41,126 --> 01:04:44,292
And I miss my husband. A lot.

837
01:04:44,751 --> 01:04:47,501
He is so caught up
with business, politics.

838
01:04:48,042 --> 01:04:50,209
Unless he has a mistress.

839
01:04:51,251 --> 01:04:53,292
Good Lord. My lady.

840
01:04:54,626 --> 01:04:56,709
Why are you talking like that?

841
01:04:59,001 --> 01:05:01,459
Your husband loves you dearly, my lady.

842
01:05:01,876 --> 01:05:04,042
But, he doesn't show it anymore.

843
01:05:04,709 --> 01:05:05,876
I don't know.

844
01:05:06,626 --> 01:05:08,959
He's hardly ever with me anymore.

845
01:05:09,959 --> 01:05:12,584
It's as if he always needs
to be somewhere else.

846
01:05:16,667 --> 01:05:19,084
Mr. and Mrs. Angelou,
this is Mr. Baltatzis.

847
01:05:19,167 --> 01:05:22,126
One of the most
distinguished businessmen in Smyrna.

848
01:05:22,209 --> 01:05:24,376
I see. From Asia Minor.

849
01:05:25,084 --> 01:05:26,417
How is Smyrna nowadays?

850
01:05:27,917 --> 01:05:30,126
Full of Greek flags.

851
01:05:30,792 --> 01:05:32,917
The people are happy.

852
01:05:33,001 --> 01:05:37,084
Here it's the opposite.
See what's happening on the streets.

853
01:05:37,501 --> 01:05:39,792
Yes, and I am wondering why.

854
01:05:40,126 --> 01:05:42,126
Dear Mr. Baltatzis...

855
01:05:42,876 --> 01:05:47,167
our country is up against
a huge financial crisis.

856
01:05:47,251 --> 01:05:50,084
Venizelos is pulling us
into an endless war.

857
01:05:50,167 --> 01:05:52,292
Our youth
are fighting in a foreign land.

858
01:05:52,376 --> 01:05:55,834
What foreign land? We are Greeks.

859
01:05:55,917 --> 01:05:57,751
Asia Minor is Greek.

860
01:05:57,834 --> 01:06:01,667
Yes, but it is still
an unknown land for us.

861
01:06:01,751 --> 01:06:07,209
We'd better be going, Mr. Baltatzis.
We still have business to discuss.

862
01:06:07,292 --> 01:06:09,542
Don't worry, we're not going to argue.

863
01:06:09,917 --> 01:06:12,001
But the truth needs to be told.

864
01:06:12,084 --> 01:06:15,501
My dear Sir,
you neither fight nor finance.

865
01:06:16,001 --> 01:06:19,126
This war is fought at Greece's expense.

866
01:06:19,209 --> 01:06:22,792
Forgive me, but my son
is a volunteer, fighting at the front.

867
01:06:23,209 --> 01:06:25,292
And many of us offer financial support.

868
01:06:25,376 --> 01:06:28,126
To Venizelos. He is the one to blame.

869
01:06:28,209 --> 01:06:29,542
With his Great Idea.

870
01:06:32,126 --> 01:06:35,042
I thought you believed
in the Great Idea.

871
01:06:35,126 --> 01:06:37,417
But we don't want Greece destroyed
for the sake of it.

872
01:06:37,501 --> 01:06:41,501
The royalists must win for all this
to finish once and for all!

873
01:06:42,917 --> 01:06:44,292
I'm sorry, but...

874
01:06:45,209 --> 01:06:47,709
I see you look on us as foreigners.

875
01:06:48,459 --> 01:06:53,167
Just so you know,
we are more Greek than any of you.

876
01:06:54,459 --> 01:06:57,751
Long live King Constantine,
Queen Sophia too.

877
01:06:57,834 --> 01:06:59,001
Excuse me.

878
01:06:59,084 --> 01:07:01,751
Thrace and Asia Minor,
we don't want you.

879
01:07:01,834 --> 01:07:05,792
Long live King Constantine,
Queen Sophia too.

880
01:07:05,876 --> 01:07:09,584
Thrace and Asia Minor,
we don't want you.

881
01:07:17,626 --> 01:07:19,959
<i>Kordelio, 1921.</i>

882
01:07:20,334 --> 01:07:23,959
<i>They all expected Venizelos
to triumph in the elections.</i>

883
01:07:24,251 --> 01:07:27,501
<i>He didn't even
get a seat in the parliament.</i>

884
01:07:27,584 --> 01:07:29,209
<i>The people didn't want him anymore.</i>

885
01:07:29,834 --> 01:07:32,501
<i>They brought the King back from exile</i>

886
01:07:32,834 --> 01:07:36,709
<i>and he arrived here, sick,
with his new Generals.</i>

887
01:07:37,584 --> 01:07:41,251
<i>The ones appointed by Venizelos,
who knew the area, were sent home.</i>

888
01:07:41,334 --> 01:07:44,001
<i>The troops became deeply divided.</i>

889
01:07:44,792 --> 01:07:45,959
Filio?

890
01:07:47,251 --> 01:07:49,084
What have you been doing
all this time?

891
01:07:49,167 --> 01:07:50,542
Nothing, dear.

892
01:07:50,626 --> 01:07:52,917
Just writing a recipe
I got the other day.

893
01:07:53,001 --> 01:07:55,292
Why? Can't you bear to be without me?

894
01:07:57,459 --> 01:08:00,084
You shouldn't keep Turks
in your house anymore.

895
01:08:01,084 --> 01:08:05,542
If Kemal gives the order,
his son may slaughter you all.

896
01:08:06,334 --> 01:08:10,292
- She's right. I supported the King...
- And you don't anymore?

897
01:08:11,376 --> 01:08:13,459
I support our interests, brother.

898
01:08:14,959 --> 01:08:17,459
The politicians set the trap for him.

899
01:08:17,542 --> 01:08:20,626
They didn't respect the Treaty of Sevres
and now they're moving in deeper.

900
01:08:21,167 --> 01:08:24,167
What do they know of the desert?
Of Anatolia?

901
01:08:24,376 --> 01:08:28,084
- What will they eat when winter comes?
- The British will feed them.

902
01:08:28,167 --> 01:08:33,167
- I only trust them.
- Nonsense! They'll abandon them.

903
01:08:34,167 --> 01:08:37,001
The French,
the Italians and the Bolsheviks

904
01:08:37,084 --> 01:08:38,876
are on Kemal's side now.

905
01:08:38,959 --> 01:08:40,167
And how did you come
to this conclusion?

906
01:08:40,251 --> 01:08:41,209
It's obvious.

907
01:08:41,292 --> 01:08:43,126
Where did the Turks find all the guns?

908
01:08:43,209 --> 01:08:45,917
Why did the Greeks stop ordering
uniforms from me?

909
01:08:46,001 --> 01:08:47,667
So that's what it's all about, Spiros!

910
01:08:47,751 --> 01:08:49,834
That's what you care about.
You're losing money!

911
01:08:49,917 --> 01:08:51,917
Dimitrakis, please.

912
01:08:52,001 --> 01:08:54,959
Stop! My heart can't take anymore.

913
01:08:55,042 --> 01:08:56,584
Come on, father.

914
01:08:57,334 --> 01:08:59,459
Mistakes. So many mistakes.

915
01:09:00,001 --> 01:09:01,751
And Venizelos is to blame...

916
01:09:01,834 --> 01:09:04,667
for sending troops here
with no guarantee.

917
01:09:04,751 --> 01:09:06,459
Damn Venizelos, that devil!

918
01:09:06,542 --> 01:09:09,084
Did I curse your King?

919
01:09:09,501 --> 01:09:11,667
Who brought all
these useless officers here?

920
01:09:11,751 --> 01:09:14,292
Shame on you.
What's next? A fist fight?

921
01:09:14,376 --> 01:09:16,501
If it weren't for the Allies
helping him out...

922
01:09:16,584 --> 01:09:19,584
even though they don't like him,
we would be all down in hell.

923
01:09:19,709 --> 01:09:20,626
Who would be?

924
01:09:20,876 --> 01:09:22,542
We are already there.

925
01:09:24,167 --> 01:09:28,042
Send money to Greece
and let's get out of here.

926
01:09:28,917 --> 01:09:32,334
- There's going to be a massacre here.
- You've told us before.

927
01:09:32,709 --> 01:09:37,251
They'll slaughter us and the Allies
will take pictures from their ships.

928
01:09:37,334 --> 01:09:39,292
Come off it, Spiros.

929
01:09:39,376 --> 01:09:41,917
I am only telling you
what I am going to do.

930
01:09:43,376 --> 01:09:45,834
Don't like it?
Cut your throat, for all I care.

931
01:09:46,209 --> 01:09:47,376
Let's go.

932
01:09:50,626 --> 01:09:51,667
Angela!

933
01:09:55,251 --> 01:09:56,126
That's just great!

934
01:09:56,251 --> 01:09:58,959
You'll end up not talking
to your brother at all.

935
01:09:59,167 --> 01:10:01,084
Spiros has got a point.

936
01:10:02,626 --> 01:10:03,751
Filio.

937
01:10:04,334 --> 01:10:06,959
You're interfering in things
that are none of your concern.

938
01:10:07,042 --> 01:10:08,167
Really!

939
01:10:08,251 --> 01:10:12,084
And what should I be concerned
about? The master's baklava and ouzo?

940
01:10:12,167 --> 01:10:13,792
- Yes.
- Yes?

941
01:10:14,334 --> 01:10:16,417
Now you're siding with Spiros!

942
01:10:16,501 --> 01:10:20,584
No, I am not, but it's gone too far.

943
01:10:20,834 --> 01:10:24,167
Why can't we buy a small house
in Athens?

944
01:10:24,501 --> 01:10:26,209
Send money in Greece?

945
01:10:26,584 --> 01:10:29,292
How can we trust the banks there?

946
01:10:29,417 --> 01:10:31,751
Greece is even poorer
with the war going on.

947
01:10:31,834 --> 01:10:34,751
Do you know Europe canceled their loan
once Venizelos left?

948
01:10:34,834 --> 01:10:38,334
- Why did Venizelos call for elections?
- God help me.

949
01:10:38,417 --> 01:10:41,459
To get the people's consent
before carrying on with the war.

950
01:10:41,542 --> 01:10:44,334
Why didn't he ask them
before even starting it?

951
01:10:44,417 --> 01:10:48,376
Or is it that he saw something
we don't want to see?

952
01:10:48,626 --> 01:10:51,209
That's a big thing to say, Madam Filio.

953
01:10:51,626 --> 01:10:54,376
Are you going to suspect
the man who liberated us?

954
01:10:54,459 --> 01:10:58,751
No, I am not saying that.
But it looks to me like he got scared.

955
01:10:59,251 --> 01:11:01,751
How long will our army hold out?

956
01:11:02,042 --> 01:11:05,251
What if they leave?
What will happen to us, Dimitrakis?

957
01:11:06,209 --> 01:11:09,626
Shouldn't we be gone
before this happens?

958
01:11:11,251 --> 01:11:15,292
I was born in Smyrna
and I'll die in Smyrna.

959
01:11:15,376 --> 01:11:18,251
I will not leave unless they make me.

960
01:11:18,334 --> 01:11:21,292
Calm down, my love. I only said...

961
01:11:21,376 --> 01:11:22,834
You always need to have your say.

962
01:11:22,917 --> 01:11:25,126
Leave something for the men to handle.

963
01:11:26,209 --> 01:11:27,959
I am going back to Smyrna.

964
01:11:28,584 --> 01:11:30,959
You can come home whenever you wish.

965
01:11:38,501 --> 01:11:42,001
We've never had such a winter.
It's been raining since October.

966
01:11:42,292 --> 01:11:45,167
It's so cold, it might even snow.

967
01:11:45,376 --> 01:11:47,751
If only! Snow is a good sign.

968
01:11:47,834 --> 01:11:49,834
But it never snows here.

969
01:11:50,709 --> 01:11:52,667
Oh, come on. Let's get to bed.

970
01:11:54,167 --> 01:11:55,959
And don't you stay up too long.

971
01:12:34,667 --> 01:12:37,459
Vassilis! Vassilakis!

972
01:12:52,251 --> 01:12:53,751
What happened to your leg?

973
01:12:57,709 --> 01:12:59,917
I'm lucky they didn't cut it off.

974
01:13:01,251 --> 01:13:02,542
Zacharoula...

975
01:13:04,376 --> 01:13:06,084
All my friends are dead.

976
01:13:09,251 --> 01:13:10,417
All of them.

977
01:13:18,667 --> 01:13:20,709
We shouldn't have gone to Sakarya.

978
01:13:22,542 --> 01:13:23,959
We shouldn't have.

979
01:14:36,167 --> 01:14:38,751
Eftalia, it's time. Come on.

980
01:14:38,959 --> 01:14:41,584
Ten, nine,

981
01:14:41,667 --> 01:14:44,042
eight, seven,

982
01:14:44,126 --> 01:14:47,417
six, five, four...

983
01:14:47,709 --> 01:14:50,917
Three, two, one...

984
01:14:51,126 --> 01:14:53,042
Happy new year!

985
01:14:53,251 --> 01:14:54,834
Happy new year!

986
01:14:56,667 --> 01:14:58,626
This will be the best year ever.

987
01:14:59,042 --> 01:15:01,667
To your wedding!

988
01:15:02,001 --> 01:15:04,459
To our wedding, in September!

989
01:15:53,209 --> 01:15:56,209
Brothers might quarrel
but they never part.

990
01:15:56,292 --> 01:15:57,959
Bravo, finally.

991
01:16:03,959 --> 01:16:05,542
- Happy new year!
- Happy new year!

992
01:16:05,626 --> 01:16:06,959
- Happy new year!
- Happy new year!

993
01:16:50,917 --> 01:16:53,459
- Happy new year!
- Happy new year!

994
01:16:53,709 --> 01:16:55,209
Happy new year!

995
01:16:55,334 --> 01:16:57,501
Happy new year!

996
01:16:57,584 --> 01:17:01,209
Let's all drink to our new friends,
mister Jennings.

997
01:17:01,417 --> 01:17:03,626
He's come here to work with YMCA.

998
01:17:03,709 --> 01:17:04,917
Welcome.

999
01:17:05,042 --> 01:17:08,126
Happy to be here.
Smyrna seems like an exciting city.

1000
01:17:08,209 --> 01:17:09,917
Just possibly doomed.

1001
01:17:10,001 --> 01:17:11,417
Isn't it a christian city?

1002
01:17:11,459 --> 01:17:14,459
It is, that's why the Turks
call it Gavur İzmir.

1003
01:17:14,626 --> 01:17:18,042
- The infidel city.
- They would like to destroy it.

1004
01:17:18,667 --> 01:17:21,959
I have trust in the Lord.
He will protect it.

1005
01:17:22,167 --> 01:17:23,626
I hope you are right.

1006
01:17:24,334 --> 01:17:26,792
Welcome.

1007
01:17:31,626 --> 01:17:33,167
Ice cream!

1008
01:17:33,251 --> 01:17:35,501
<i>The year has gone by pleasantly.</i>

1009
01:17:35,584 --> 01:17:37,709
<i>The summer is here again.</i>

1010
01:17:38,042 --> 01:17:41,626
<i>We are getting ready for summer,
just as if it wasn't our war.</i>

1011
01:17:44,709 --> 01:17:47,876
You should have known better.
It was bound to happen.

1012
01:17:49,251 --> 01:17:53,001
What am I going to do?
It will start showing soon.

1013
01:17:53,459 --> 01:17:55,542
And Vassilakis doesn't know anything.

1014
01:17:55,626 --> 01:17:56,834
Vassilakis?

1015
01:17:57,667 --> 01:17:59,459
Vassilakis loves you.

1016
01:18:00,167 --> 01:18:02,459
And Madam Filio suspects something.

1017
01:18:03,959 --> 01:18:06,334
But will Master Dimitrakis
let his son marry you?

1018
01:18:06,417 --> 01:18:09,459
I'd better go, disappear.

1019
01:18:10,667 --> 01:18:13,417
Don't talk like that.

1020
01:18:14,501 --> 01:18:17,626
We'll go to Kordelio for the summer
and we'll see.

1021
01:18:17,834 --> 01:18:21,042
Vassilakis is not coming.
I have to tell him.

1022
01:18:21,126 --> 01:18:22,334
Now.

1023
01:18:22,751 --> 01:18:25,001
Have you no idea how busy he is lately?

1024
01:18:25,084 --> 01:18:28,292
They gave him an important positions
at headquarters, with Chatzianestis.

1025
01:18:28,376 --> 01:18:31,126
- When he comes to Kordelio...
- He won't be coming.

1026
01:18:31,209 --> 01:18:34,959
He doesn't want us to go either.
The news from the front isn't good.

1027
01:18:35,042 --> 01:18:36,084
He's worried.

1028
01:18:36,876 --> 01:18:39,084
He wasn't worried when he seduced you.

1029
01:18:41,667 --> 01:18:42,917
Anyway.

1030
01:18:43,959 --> 01:18:45,334
God is merciful.

1031
01:18:46,876 --> 01:18:50,292
His mother has a soft spot for him.
You never know.

1032
01:19:04,876 --> 01:19:06,209
Welcome!

1033
01:19:06,501 --> 01:19:09,042
We've been waiting
for you since yesterday.

1034
01:19:09,834 --> 01:19:11,501
What's wrong, dear?

1035
01:19:11,584 --> 01:19:13,042
Are you sick?

1036
01:19:15,292 --> 01:19:16,834
The front has collapsed.

1037
01:19:16,917 --> 01:19:18,417
- What?
- What happened?

1038
01:19:19,292 --> 01:19:20,459
What did you say?

1039
01:19:21,376 --> 01:19:23,792
The front line was 700km long.

1040
01:19:26,001 --> 01:19:27,376
The commanders...

1041
01:19:28,251 --> 01:19:30,667
Couldn't communicate with each other.

1042
01:19:31,376 --> 01:19:33,501
Kemal attacked them from every side.

1043
01:19:34,501 --> 01:19:36,126
Our army is retreating.

1044
01:19:37,584 --> 01:19:40,542
Without leaders, with no plan.

1045
01:19:41,876 --> 01:19:43,251
The Turks are right behind.

1046
01:19:43,584 --> 01:19:45,501
This can't be happening.

1047
01:19:45,584 --> 01:19:47,501
Vassilakis, are you sure?

1048
01:19:47,584 --> 01:19:48,834
Great tragedy!

1049
01:19:48,917 --> 01:19:51,126
I knew it! They'll slaughter us!

1050
01:19:51,209 --> 01:19:53,876
Like in 1915, they'll slaughter us!

1051
01:19:53,959 --> 01:19:56,501
Hurry up, we're leaving. Start packing.

1052
01:19:56,584 --> 01:19:58,542
The front has collapsed.
We're going to Smyrna.

1053
01:19:58,626 --> 01:20:01,501
What are you looking at?
Get everything together.

1054
01:20:02,001 --> 01:20:04,334
Our army was defeated?

1055
01:20:04,417 --> 01:20:06,667
They didn't even have the chance
to fight, father.

1056
01:20:06,751 --> 01:20:08,584
They're retreating any way they can.

1057
01:20:08,667 --> 01:20:11,876
Some are resisting.
Some are killing themselves.

1058
01:20:12,251 --> 01:20:13,292
Some...

1059
01:20:13,376 --> 01:20:15,792
I curse the moment I listened to you.

1060
01:20:16,542 --> 01:20:20,084
We'd be in London by now.
With all our money.

1061
01:20:20,542 --> 01:20:24,126
Let's go to Bournabat. To the Whittalls.
They won't hurt us there.

1062
01:20:24,209 --> 01:20:27,584
Yes. They have protection
from Britain. Let's go.

1063
01:20:27,667 --> 01:20:28,751
And we don't?

1064
01:20:30,959 --> 01:20:32,626
Greece will protect us.

1065
01:20:39,667 --> 01:20:41,334
Pack the silverware.

1066
01:20:46,292 --> 01:20:50,042
The Greek population must leave
before Kemal arrives.

1067
01:20:50,126 --> 01:20:53,209
I begged all foreign consuls to help.

1068
01:20:53,292 --> 01:20:57,001
They all have government orders
to remain neutral.

1069
01:20:57,376 --> 01:21:00,542
Our last hope is Venizelos himself.

1070
01:21:02,001 --> 01:21:04,542
I will read to you
the letter I sent him.

1071
01:21:04,626 --> 01:21:09,042
"The Hellenism of Asia Minor,
the Greek state...

1072
01:21:09,251 --> 01:21:11,834
<i>and the Greek Nation,
as a whole...</i>

1073
01:21:11,959 --> 01:21:14,626
<i>is descending into Hades.</i>

1074
01:21:16,292 --> 01:21:21,501
Whereof no power
will ever be able to restore it again.

1075
01:21:34,209 --> 01:21:36,542
It's imperative,
that the greek population...

1076
01:21:36,584 --> 01:21:39,042
leave before Kemal enters the city.

1077
01:21:39,584 --> 01:21:42,167
- Tchetas are here already.
- Who?

1078
01:21:43,292 --> 01:21:46,084
The Tchetas. Bandits.
They accompany soldiers.

1079
01:21:46,126 --> 01:21:48,292
They're the ones
who commit the crimes.

1080
01:21:48,376 --> 01:21:51,126
Our government send orders
to remain neutral.

1081
01:21:51,209 --> 01:21:52,501
Neutral?

1082
01:21:52,709 --> 01:21:56,376
Our ambassador hates Greeks.
He is hardly neutral.

1083
01:21:57,126 --> 01:21:59,876
He's sending Washington,
false information.

1084
01:22:00,376 --> 01:22:02,084
You're married to a Greek.

1085
01:22:02,167 --> 01:22:04,667
That hardly fosters neutrality.

1086
01:22:04,917 --> 01:22:08,417
All Americans are leaving.
It's your duty to come with us.

1087
01:22:15,751 --> 01:22:18,584
I am a diplomat.
That is my profession.

1088
01:22:19,167 --> 01:22:23,167
Which means I am neutered.
Castrated.

1089
01:22:23,459 --> 01:22:25,667
But, you however,
are not a diplomat.

1090
01:22:25,751 --> 01:22:28,376
I frankly have no idea,
what you are.

1091
01:22:28,709 --> 01:22:30,501
I don't know why you're here/

1092
01:22:31,626 --> 01:22:35,459
I don't know what you're doing
with the YMCA, you may be a spy.

1093
01:22:36,167 --> 01:22:39,334
But, you're not a diplomat.
You can do something.

1094
01:22:39,751 --> 01:22:40,917
Anything.

1095
01:22:41,834 --> 01:22:44,959
And you're an American,
which gives you advantage.

1096
01:22:45,084 --> 01:22:46,751
If you know
how to use it...

1097
01:22:47,167 --> 01:22:49,042
speak to the Turks.

1098
01:22:49,584 --> 01:22:51,667
Lie if you must, but...

1099
01:22:52,417 --> 01:22:54,542
you might be able to do something.

1100
01:22:55,917 --> 01:22:57,084
<i>We are Greeks!</i>

1101
01:22:57,501 --> 01:23:00,334
Open! We are Greeks!

1102
01:23:01,251 --> 01:23:03,001
Your Holliness, we must leave.

1103
01:23:03,084 --> 01:23:06,751
You'll be the first one in danger
once the troops take the city.

1104
01:23:07,376 --> 01:23:11,709
Kemal has appointed Nuredin Pasha,
your sworn enemy, to take over Smyrna.

1105
01:23:12,292 --> 01:23:14,709
I cannot abandon my flock.

1106
01:23:18,542 --> 01:23:22,167
My orders from the government
are to leave and to protect you.

1107
01:23:22,709 --> 01:23:25,792
I'd rather trust God with my protection.

1108
01:23:28,542 --> 01:23:33,751
Leave, but trust me, you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.

1109
01:23:37,001 --> 01:23:38,209
Stergiadis.

1110
01:23:39,084 --> 01:23:40,792
- Why don't you let people leave?

1111
01:23:40,876 --> 01:23:43,042
- The ones who have
Greek passports can leave.

1112
01:23:43,126 --> 01:23:45,376
Nobody has Greek passports!
We are Ottoman citizens!

1113
01:23:45,459 --> 01:23:48,709
I'm sorry. The bill was
passed on July 16th.

1114
01:23:48,792 --> 01:23:51,417
People with foreign passports,
cannot enter Greece.

1115
01:24:00,626 --> 01:24:04,251
Stergiadis, you traitor!
You're leaving us to the Turks!

1116
01:24:04,334 --> 01:24:06,251
- Shame on you!
- We are Greeks!

1117
01:24:06,334 --> 01:24:08,459
- They will slaughter us!
- Traitor!

1118
01:24:08,542 --> 01:24:10,542
- Let us go!
- They will slaughter us!

1119
01:24:14,417 --> 01:24:16,626
So, they knew this disaster was coming.

1120
01:24:20,292 --> 01:24:21,417
And we...

1121
01:24:24,542 --> 01:24:25,584
Let's go.

1122
01:24:26,376 --> 01:24:27,459
Let's go.

1123
01:24:27,542 --> 01:24:28,751
Let's go.

1124
01:24:29,126 --> 01:24:30,667
Hurry up.

1125
01:24:34,292 --> 01:24:35,709
Quick!

1126
01:24:36,417 --> 01:24:39,001
All Armenians are
in St. Stefanos' Church.

1127
01:24:39,084 --> 01:24:43,209
The Tchetas came from their villages
and they're looting and killing.

1128
01:24:43,292 --> 01:24:45,292
Hurry!

1129
01:24:45,542 --> 01:24:50,459
Madam Takui! Where are you going?
Let's go!

1130
01:25:09,126 --> 01:25:12,876
Brothers,
now is the time to be strong.

1131
01:25:13,417 --> 01:25:16,584
Come on, let us pray together.

1132
01:25:25,709 --> 01:25:26,876
Lord.

1133
01:25:27,709 --> 01:25:29,751
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

1134
01:25:30,084 --> 01:25:33,042
Son of God, have mercy upon us.

1135
01:25:33,626 --> 01:25:36,209
Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

1136
01:25:36,626 --> 01:25:37,876
Son of God.

1137
01:25:48,251 --> 01:25:49,584
The priest is here.

1138
01:25:56,459 --> 01:25:57,834
I am ready.

1139
01:26:13,251 --> 01:26:14,501
Infidel!

1140
01:26:16,126 --> 01:26:17,292
Infidel!

1141
01:26:30,584 --> 01:26:32,667
Kill all the infidels.

1142
01:26:33,834 --> 01:26:35,042
Infidel!

1143
01:26:36,334 --> 01:26:37,917
Come here, Greek!

1144
01:26:40,584 --> 01:26:41,751
Infidel!

1145
01:26:53,167 --> 01:26:55,834
Lord, hear my prayer!

1146
01:26:55,917 --> 01:26:57,876
Hear my prayer! Lord, Jesus Christ!

1147
01:26:57,959 --> 01:26:59,167
Have mercy upon me!

1148
01:26:59,751 --> 01:27:00,959
Hear my prayer!

1149
01:27:03,584 --> 01:27:06,667
They're asking a fortune...

1150
01:27:06,751 --> 01:27:10,001
but they'll take us without passports
to Chios or Mytilene.

1151
01:27:10,084 --> 01:27:12,126
I might find one of my guys.

1152
01:27:12,459 --> 01:27:15,667
Run! They got the bishop!
Can you hear me?

1153
01:27:15,751 --> 01:27:18,876
- They got the bishop!
- Go, leave!

1154
01:27:35,751 --> 01:27:36,917
Run.

1155
01:27:37,001 --> 01:27:38,251
Kill them all.

1156
01:27:39,626 --> 01:27:42,084
<i>Destroy everything.</i>

1157
01:28:21,959 --> 01:28:25,334
<i>Infidel!</i>

1158
01:28:26,584 --> 01:28:31,167
May my prayers reach heaven
as incense to You, Lord.

1159
01:28:31,251 --> 01:28:34,584
Lord, I am sacrificing myself to You.

1160
01:28:34,667 --> 01:28:36,251
Lord, have mercy...

1161
01:28:39,126 --> 01:28:40,667
Long live, Kemal!

1162
01:28:43,167 --> 01:28:44,292
Stop!

1163
01:28:44,751 --> 01:28:46,667
We have been ordered
not to intervene!

1164
01:28:46,834 --> 01:28:49,417
Touρκία! Touρκία!

1165
01:29:55,751 --> 01:29:57,167
They betrayed us.

1166
01:29:59,626 --> 01:30:01,001
Us...

1167
01:30:02,209 --> 01:30:03,626
And our homeland.

1168
01:30:08,959 --> 01:30:10,001
It's all my fault.

1169
01:30:18,084 --> 01:30:19,292
I'm sorry.

1170
01:30:22,167 --> 01:30:23,376
I'm sorry.

1171
01:30:26,167 --> 01:30:27,667
I have to go to Smyrna.

1172
01:30:28,084 --> 01:30:30,209
- I have to face Lefkothea.
- Are you mad?

1173
01:30:30,251 --> 01:30:31,792
Yes, he is in love.

1174
01:30:32,584 --> 01:30:34,626
Go, bring her with you.

1175
01:30:34,709 --> 01:30:36,251
And promise to come back.

1176
01:30:36,376 --> 01:30:38,417
I'm not leaving without you.

1177
01:30:39,084 --> 01:30:40,792
Here, give her this.

1178
01:30:41,709 --> 01:30:44,792
Take the jewels
and sew them in our skirts.

1179
01:30:44,876 --> 01:30:47,209
We must wear five or six layers
of clothes.

1180
01:30:47,292 --> 01:30:49,501
- All together?
- One on top of the other.

1181
01:30:49,584 --> 01:30:53,334
Zacharoula, bring
your village clothes and scarves.

1182
01:30:54,334 --> 01:30:56,542
Eftalia, come, let's hide the icons.

1183
01:30:56,626 --> 01:30:59,001
Rub ashes on your face
to look old.

1184
01:30:59,084 --> 01:31:01,376
I'll bury the icons and silverware
in the garden.

1185
01:31:03,584 --> 01:31:06,501
Let me have an icon of the Virgin Mary
to hold on to.

1186
01:31:06,584 --> 01:31:09,584
Leave it to me.
You shouldn't carry it.

1187
01:31:09,667 --> 01:31:10,792
I know.

1188
01:31:44,167 --> 01:31:45,876
You can't imagine
what's happening in Bornova.

1189
01:31:47,251 --> 01:31:48,292
All night long...

1190
01:31:48,792 --> 01:31:51,751
We heard them raping
and burning the city down.

1191
01:31:51,834 --> 01:31:53,751
They slaughtered two thousand Greeks.

1192
01:31:56,001 --> 01:31:57,042
We're leaving.

1193
01:31:59,209 --> 01:32:02,417
I'm sorry. I can only take
Lefkothea with me.

1194
01:32:02,501 --> 01:32:06,126
Go! If you can leave here and be safe,
go, my girl!

1195
01:32:13,126 --> 01:32:14,167
I can't.

1196
01:32:15,626 --> 01:32:17,209
How can I leave you?

1197
01:32:19,376 --> 01:32:21,209
I'll die of worry.

1198
01:32:21,292 --> 01:32:24,917
We must leave.
They are waiting aboard the ship.

1199
01:32:25,417 --> 01:32:26,459
Please.

1200
01:32:39,292 --> 01:32:41,751
Just a moment. Wait a moment.

1201
01:32:45,459 --> 01:32:47,042
Lefkothea, where are you going?

1202
01:32:47,126 --> 01:32:50,334
Let her go.
She'll be safe, let her go.

1203
01:32:55,292 --> 01:32:56,667
We'll meet again.

1204
01:32:56,876 --> 01:32:58,126
To unόσχoμαι.

1205
01:32:58,876 --> 01:33:01,667
Take her with you and leave.

1206
01:33:40,001 --> 01:33:41,334
My heart is bleeding.

1207
01:33:46,126 --> 01:33:47,167
I didn't know...

1208
01:33:49,542 --> 01:33:51,667
if you were ever going to see me
in my wedding dress.

1209
01:33:52,917 --> 01:33:54,334
You're an angel.

1210
01:33:56,376 --> 01:33:57,417
Forgive me.

1211
01:33:57,501 --> 01:34:00,751
I love you with all my heart.

1212
01:34:17,626 --> 01:34:19,792
Say you will take me as your wife.

1213
01:34:20,667 --> 01:34:22,334
You will always be my wife.

1214
01:34:23,542 --> 01:34:24,584
Always.

1215
01:34:25,667 --> 01:34:27,584
Even if I never see you again.

1216
01:35:09,251 --> 01:35:12,126
Let's go. I found a boatman
to take us to Mytilene.

1217
01:35:12,626 --> 01:35:14,334
Let's go, let's go.

1218
01:35:23,417 --> 01:35:27,584
Father, where are you going
without your jacket?

1219
01:35:27,834 --> 01:35:31,126
- You'll get cold on the boat.
- My darling child.

1220
01:35:32,209 --> 01:35:33,667
I'm not coming.

1221
01:35:35,292 --> 01:35:37,334
I can't walk.

1222
01:35:38,834 --> 01:35:42,251
- I'll be a burden.
- What are you saying?

1223
01:35:42,376 --> 01:35:44,709
They'll kill you if you stay here.

1224
01:35:44,792 --> 01:35:48,501
- Huh. Their gain.
- I'm not leaving without you.

1225
01:35:48,584 --> 01:35:50,667
I can't leave you alone.

1226
01:35:51,209 --> 01:35:53,167
Who says he'll be alone?

1227
01:35:53,709 --> 01:35:55,209
I'll stay with him.

1228
01:35:55,667 --> 01:35:59,501
Madam Filio, I am a Turk.
They will not harm me.

1229
01:35:59,709 --> 01:36:03,584
No, I can't leave you alone.
I can't go without you.

1230
01:36:03,667 --> 01:36:06,417
I'll stay with my friend.

1231
01:36:06,667 --> 01:36:09,334
Let's go. Come on.

1232
01:36:09,667 --> 01:36:12,917
Hurry up, it's hell outside. Come on.

1233
01:36:14,251 --> 01:36:16,584
Don't look back.

1234
01:36:18,709 --> 01:36:20,209
Look ahead.

1235
01:36:21,376 --> 01:36:24,334
Make sure you live, my child.

1236
01:36:24,834 --> 01:36:28,251
How? How can I live without you?

1237
01:36:30,001 --> 01:36:31,834
Father.
My dear Father.

1238
01:36:52,251 --> 01:36:54,792
<i>We hadn't left the house for days.</i>

1239
01:36:55,376 --> 01:36:58,292
<i>We weren't ready for what we saw.</i>

1240
01:36:58,792 --> 01:37:02,209
<i>Blood and corpses everywhere.</i>

1241
01:37:02,376 --> 01:37:06,334
<i>Uniforms, military coats, flags.</i>

1242
01:37:06,876 --> 01:37:09,626
<i>The remains of a long lost hope.</i>

1243
01:37:12,584 --> 01:37:13,792
Come on.

1244
01:37:13,876 --> 01:37:16,251
What are you doing?
Why are you stopping?

1245
01:37:16,334 --> 01:37:19,334
- The boatman won't wait forever.
- Can't you see what's happening?

1246
01:37:19,417 --> 01:37:22,876
- Let's go to the American consulate.
- We won't find another boat.

1247
01:37:22,959 --> 01:37:25,084
Let's go. The children at least.

1248
01:37:25,751 --> 01:37:29,209
- He is right. Go.
- No, we're leaving together.

1249
01:37:34,126 --> 01:37:35,459
I love you all.

1250
01:37:39,251 --> 01:37:40,959
I've always loved you.

1251
01:37:46,376 --> 01:37:48,834
- May God be with you.
- Go.

1252
01:37:49,251 --> 01:37:50,792
May God be with you.

1253
01:37:51,167 --> 01:37:53,126
Come on, let's go.

1254
01:37:57,251 --> 01:37:58,751
Infidels!

1255
01:37:58,834 --> 01:38:00,167
<i>Θα σας σφάξouμε!</i>

1256
01:38:08,084 --> 01:38:11,417
My friends, forgive me.
We have been ordered to leave and...

1257
01:38:11,501 --> 01:38:13,584
our ship will only take Americans.

1258
01:38:13,917 --> 01:38:16,126
Now, it's safest if you stay here...

1259
01:38:16,209 --> 01:38:17,834
inside the consulate.

1260
01:38:18,959 --> 01:38:20,917
- Until...
- Until...

1261
01:38:21,501 --> 01:38:23,667
The Greek ships come back for us.

1262
01:38:23,751 --> 01:38:25,126
No. That won't happen.

1263
01:38:26,292 --> 01:38:29,251
It would automatum mean
a new declaration of war.

1264
01:38:29,334 --> 01:38:30,709
We'll meet again.

1265
01:38:37,501 --> 01:38:40,251
- May God protect you.
- You too.

1266
01:38:40,792 --> 01:38:42,251
I wish that...

1267
01:38:46,834 --> 01:38:48,959
I hope we can all meet again.

1268
01:38:50,917 --> 01:38:52,334
I am so sorry.

1269
01:39:18,292 --> 01:39:20,959
No more. It will sink!

1270
01:39:21,042 --> 01:39:22,417
Take us with you!

1271
01:39:37,959 --> 01:39:39,876
We are going to drown!

1272
01:39:39,959 --> 01:39:41,626
No more! We'll drown!

1273
01:40:23,417 --> 01:40:25,667
God have mercy upon us.

1274
01:40:25,751 --> 01:40:27,584
Give peace to the world,

1275
01:40:27,667 --> 01:40:29,376
cure the sick

1276
01:40:29,459 --> 01:40:32,251
and receive the dead into heaven.

1277
01:40:32,917 --> 01:40:34,626
God have mercy upon us.

1278
01:40:34,709 --> 01:40:36,292
Holy Trinity.

1279
01:40:36,376 --> 01:40:38,209
Give peace to the world.

1280
01:40:38,292 --> 01:40:40,417
Cure the sick

1281
01:40:40,501 --> 01:40:43,667
and receive the dead into heaven.

1282
01:40:43,751 --> 01:40:45,709
God have mercy upon us.

1283
01:40:45,792 --> 01:40:48,417
Holy Trinity,
give peace to the world

1284
01:40:48,501 --> 01:40:50,751
cure the sick...

1285
01:40:50,834 --> 01:40:52,542
Holy Trinity.

1286
01:40:52,626 --> 01:40:54,709
Give peace to the world.

1287
01:40:54,792 --> 01:40:56,626
Cure to the sick.

1288
01:40:59,876 --> 01:41:01,542
God have mercy upon us.

1289
01:41:04,292 --> 01:41:06,626
Cure to the sick....

1290
01:41:06,709 --> 01:41:09,084
God have mercy upon us!

1291
01:41:16,459 --> 01:41:18,167
Sorry,
it's a very bad line.

1292
01:41:18,459 --> 01:41:20,001
Yes, I am in Smyrna.

1293
01:41:20,084 --> 01:41:21,376
The city is on fire!

1294
01:41:22,209 --> 01:41:25,251
There are 350.000 Greeks,
trapped in the port.

1295
01:41:25,334 --> 01:41:27,876
Tchetas are killing and raping,
do you understand?

1296
01:41:27,959 --> 01:41:30,834
Your government has 26 battleships
in Mytilene.

1297
01:41:30,917 --> 01:41:32,709
You must send them,
here, immediately.

1298
01:41:34,251 --> 01:41:35,542
Who am I?

1299
01:41:38,667 --> 01:41:41,667
I am the representative
of the American government.

1300
01:41:45,001 --> 01:41:46,167
Lord...

1301
01:41:47,001 --> 01:41:50,501
- They're burning the Armenian quarter.
- Madam Takui!

1302
01:41:54,376 --> 01:41:57,626
Now the wind is blowing this way!
Father!

1303
01:41:57,709 --> 01:42:00,251
We need to get father. Let's go.

1304
01:42:00,334 --> 01:42:02,834
- Let's go.
- Stay here with the girls.

1305
01:42:11,292 --> 01:42:13,709
- Lefkothea!
- Eftalia!

1306
01:42:53,417 --> 01:42:54,459
Papa!

1307
01:43:07,376 --> 01:43:08,542
Father.

1308
01:43:56,001 --> 01:43:58,001
My Dimitris!

1309
01:43:58,084 --> 01:44:01,167
- Papa!
- My Dimitris!

1310
01:44:07,751 --> 01:44:11,001
- Papa!
- My Dimitris!

1311
01:44:13,334 --> 01:44:14,459
Dimitris!

1312
01:44:19,501 --> 01:44:20,542
Dimitris!

1313
01:46:39,292 --> 01:46:40,334
Lefkothea...

1314
01:46:45,626 --> 01:46:47,084
Our factories...

1315
01:46:48,376 --> 01:46:50,167
Our money in the safe...

1316
01:46:50,251 --> 01:46:53,126
I believe the expression is,
up in smoke.

1317
01:46:54,251 --> 01:46:56,542
My dear,
we are on a ship.

1318
01:46:57,084 --> 01:46:58,459
We are alive.

1319
01:47:00,334 --> 01:47:01,376
It's unbearable.

1320
01:47:05,709 --> 01:47:09,334
Have you no heart?
Why can't you do something?

1321
01:47:09,417 --> 01:47:12,167
We have strict orders
not to lift a finger!

1322
01:47:12,501 --> 01:47:16,084
It's hard mam.
We want to help. But...

1323
01:47:16,376 --> 01:47:18,417
Do you have search lights?

1324
01:47:19,501 --> 01:47:22,126
- Of course mam!
- For God's sakes...

1325
01:47:22,209 --> 01:47:25,792
use them!
Shine on the port!

1326
01:47:42,751 --> 01:47:45,167
Not now. They're watching us.
Let them go.

1327
01:47:45,251 --> 01:47:48,209
Run! This way!

1328
01:48:24,251 --> 01:48:25,876
It's contrary to your instructions.

1329
01:48:25,959 --> 01:48:28,042
This is what I've see,
with my own eyes.

1330
01:48:28,167 --> 01:48:30,167
Our ambassador has instructed us...

1331
01:48:30,251 --> 01:48:33,334
all the reports to say
there has been a minor incident!

1332
01:48:33,417 --> 01:48:35,876
- Nothing of significance.
- That's not what happened.

1333
01:48:35,959 --> 01:48:40,251
- This is what I'm filing.
- What has happened to you Dawson?

1334
01:48:40,334 --> 01:48:41,834
Just following orders, sir.

1335
01:48:41,917 --> 01:48:44,167
We have great interests in Turkey.

1336
01:48:44,251 --> 01:48:48,209
So, for those interests,
you're willing to close your eyes?

1337
01:48:48,542 --> 01:48:51,459
As Europe is doing,
for its own interests.

1338
01:48:51,626 --> 01:48:55,126
A magnifiscent city is dying...

1339
01:48:56,001 --> 01:48:58,709
in front of all civilized nations!

1340
01:48:59,542 --> 01:49:02,292
All I can say,
is that I am ashamed.

1341
01:49:02,376 --> 01:49:04,709
- Sir...
- Not on you. My shame.

1342
01:49:04,792 --> 01:49:06,167
runs far deeper.

1343
01:49:06,251 --> 01:49:09,417
I am ashamed
to belong to the human race.

1344
01:49:16,334 --> 01:49:17,584
American citizen!

1345
01:49:18,417 --> 01:49:19,459
I'm American!

1346
01:49:34,584 --> 01:49:37,751
I can absolutely guarantee
the safety of your ships.

1347
01:49:37,834 --> 01:49:40,042
The American Navy will protect them.

1348
01:49:40,542 --> 01:49:42,292
What? Yes, of course!

1349
01:49:42,834 --> 01:49:44,959
I have spoken
to the turkish government.

1350
01:49:45,042 --> 01:49:47,584
I have their written agreement.
Please, send them at once.

1351
01:49:48,834 --> 01:49:50,709
We only have eleven days left.

1352
01:50:05,626 --> 01:50:08,834
- Go!
- Ismini!

1353
01:50:09,084 --> 01:50:10,501
Get out of here!

1354
01:50:16,584 --> 01:50:19,084
You! How old are you?
Twenty three? Twenty five?

1355
01:50:19,167 --> 01:50:20,167
I am crippled.

1356
01:50:20,251 --> 01:50:22,292
You weren't a minute ago!

1357
01:50:22,376 --> 01:50:26,459
Don't take him! My husband is crippled,
and I'm pregnant.

1358
01:50:27,917 --> 01:50:29,959
zacharoula, I'll make it!

1359
01:50:30,959 --> 01:50:34,292
You've given me a reason to live!
I love you!

1360
01:50:34,959 --> 01:50:36,001
Vassilis!

1361
01:50:38,084 --> 01:50:39,334
Quick!

1362
01:50:41,501 --> 01:50:44,042
Quick! Go on!

1363
01:51:20,834 --> 01:51:23,709
Let me go! Let me go!

1364
01:51:24,792 --> 01:51:25,959
Let me go!

1365
01:51:26,876 --> 01:51:28,751
Lefkothea!

1366
01:51:29,209 --> 01:51:31,542
Mother!

1367
01:51:31,626 --> 01:51:35,292
- Lefkothea!
- Mother!

1368
01:51:35,376 --> 01:51:37,626
Lefkothea!

1369
01:51:38,292 --> 01:51:40,376
Lefkothea!

1370
01:51:40,459 --> 01:51:43,251
A Japanese ship threw its cargo.

1371
01:51:43,334 --> 01:51:46,459
We can get in without passports. Run!

1372
01:52:03,834 --> 01:52:04,876
Help!

1373
01:52:17,584 --> 01:52:19,084
Lefkothea!

1374
01:52:41,792 --> 01:52:43,417
<i>My child!</i>

1375
01:53:20,459 --> 01:53:21,876
My child.

1376
01:53:25,917 --> 01:53:27,251
My child...

1377
01:53:36,959 --> 01:53:38,459
My child...

1378
01:53:40,709 --> 01:53:42,084
Murat!

1379
01:53:42,167 --> 01:53:44,709
This woman is sick.
Take her to the boat.

1380
01:54:41,376 --> 01:54:43,084
Zacharoula.

1381
01:54:50,459 --> 01:54:54,459
All gone. I lost them all, Zacharoula.

1382
01:54:54,542 --> 01:54:57,709
You still have me, Madam Filio.

1383
01:55:43,209 --> 01:55:45,292
LESVOS, 1923
<i>We are now at our homeland, Greece.</i>

1384
01:55:45,834 --> 01:55:48,251
<i>Smyrna is somewhere across the sea.</i>

1385
01:55:48,334 --> 01:55:52,626
<i>While we were leaving,
I turned to see it for the last time.</i>

1386
01:55:53,084 --> 01:55:56,376
<i>Nothing was left of my beloved city.</i>

1387
01:55:56,876 --> 01:55:59,667
<i>And I took a vow, to hold on.</i>

1388
01:55:59,751 --> 01:56:01,876
<i>To start a new life.</i>

1389
01:56:02,834 --> 01:56:06,709
<i>And keep the memory of Greek Smyrna
always inside me.</i>

1390
01:56:07,417 --> 01:56:09,834
Even though they erased it
from the maps.

1391
01:56:14,959 --> 01:56:18,459
- Today it's Saint Dimitrios day.
- God bless his name.

1392
01:56:18,876 --> 01:56:22,042
Our loved ones will be watching
from above and I want them to rejoice.

1393
01:56:22,417 --> 01:56:25,084
Let's make baklava.

1394
01:56:25,167 --> 01:56:27,584
- Like the old days.
- Where? Here?

1395
01:56:27,667 --> 01:56:30,626
Why not? I've brought a little butter!

1396
01:56:30,709 --> 01:56:34,917
- I am going to get the almonds.
Baklava needs a lot of almonds.

1397
01:56:35,251 --> 01:56:38,417
So, for the baklava...

1398
01:56:38,792 --> 01:56:41,876
- We need nice homemade butter.
- A cup of sugar.

1399
01:56:42,459 --> 01:56:45,084
And lots of almonds.

1400
01:56:45,167 --> 01:56:47,292
- And cinnamon.
- And filo dough.

1401
01:56:53,792 --> 01:56:57,292
According to historical studies,
the victims were around 800.000

1402
01:56:57,376 --> 01:56:58,834
and the refugees
approximately 1.500.000.

1403
01:56:58,917 --> 01:57:02,251
The great fire on August 31st,
(September 13th by the New Calendar)

1404
01:57:02,334 --> 01:57:03,417
lasted four days.

1405
01:57:03,501 --> 01:57:06,667
The people waited for the ships
amidst smoke, burnt ruins,

1406
01:57:06,751 --> 01:57:10,167
vandalism and savage violence
for many days before being able to go.

1407
01:57:10,251 --> 01:57:14,584
In memory of Maria Ntenisi,
Olympia Doukakis and Kostas Voutsas.
