Synopsis:
This film is based on Kazan’s book inspired by the travels of his uncle, who immigrated to New York from Turkey. Growing up in a small village at the end of the 19th century as a member of a Greek minority constantly terrorized by the Turkish majority, the young man is aware that he has little chance in life. Therefore his father gives him the family’s treasure and sends him to Constantinople. But the boy’s true wish is to go even farther away: America.
