Synopsis
The story of painter Mihri, full of gaps and rumours, attracts the attention of director Berna Gençalp, who focuses on female characters. She sets out with the question "Who is Mihri?" to uncover the story of Mihri Rasim Müşfik Açba, which begins in Ottoman Istanbul at the end of the 19th century and extends to Rome, Paris and New York. Mihri, whose artistic work and life story have been unjustly obscured, lost and deformed, is revitalised through archival materials, interviews and animation sequences./edit
