In 1899, members of an Ottoman family gather at the summer residence of Iskender Pasha outside Istanbul while the empire faces political decay, nationalism and pressure for reform. Confessions made before an ancient stone figure expose buried relationships, betrayals and divisions between generations. The family’s private crisis reflects the instability of the late Ottoman state, as younger characters reject inherited myths and search for new political and personal identities.
