Synopsis
British Nicola's unrequited love for bazaar worker Mimar leads to transformative reunion years later.
On a visit to a city in the far west of Asia, a British girl named Nicola falls in love. The object of her affection is Mimar, a man who works at the city's bazaar—yet despite her attempts, he turns her down. Upon returning home to England, the ache of her unrequited love festers. Years later, Nicola returns to the bazaar, her life having taken unexpected turns that have transformed her in ways no one could have imagined. What begins as a simple reunion between two people from different worlds soon evolves into a complex tale of love, loss, and the unpredictable paths that life can take.
