Smyrna

Filio Baltatzi, a silver-haired Greek-American lady, embarks on a journey to the island of Lesvos to assist refugees. But what makes her mission even more extraordinary is that her family members, too, were refugees on the same island more than a century ago. They had fled their homeland after the Great Fire of Smyrna destroyed much of the port and burned the city to the ground. Now accompanied by her initially reluctant granddaughter, Filio's trip becomes a unique intergenerational experience. The family's history, chronicled in her grandmother's diary, comes alive as the past and present intertwine on the island of Lesvos.
