I Left My Shoes In Istanbul

Synopsis

The film closely follows the journey of a Lebanese Armenian modernist poet who embarks on a journey that has been delayed for a century; the return to his ancestral city of Istanbul, where his cultural and literary roots are found. The journey takes us to the old streets of Istanbul once populated by Armenians, the ancient cemeteries and the poets buried in them, the old churches and more than a century old high school. He meets the young and the old, the famed and the humble, Armenians and Turks, listens to their stories, their opinions, he laughs and shares food with them.
