The Story of the Green Line

• Watchlist

A story in the "Green Line" of Nicosia, where a wall made-up of barrels and barbed wire divides a town; and a country. Kypros, a Greek-Cypriot soldier discovers that Murat, a soldier from the opposing side, is actually living in his own family home. Just like Kypros, he too is a refugee. War has forced both of them to dislocate; Kypros from the north to the south and Murat from the south to the north. When Murat goes back to his village on leave, he returns bringing him a present from his home, a family photograph, and he proposes that the two lads take a secret trip, each on the "other side". Kypros, who wants to see his sweetheart, a Turkish-Cypriot girl he left behind, accepts without considering the consequences.
