Turkey, Büyükada Island, 2017. One sunny summer morning, the family members of the famous artist Shirin Saka gather together to celebrate her centenary. This feast is supposed to be a time of cherished memories, considering the long and fruitful career of the celebrant and her almost century-long life experience, but it is overshadowed by memories of the time of cruel interethnic clashes in the part of the country where the artist's childhood took place.
In the polyphonic novel by the contemporary Turkish writer Defne Suman, the parallel voices of the characters develop several themes that culminate during the celebration of the centenary jubilee of the main and oldest heroine of the work. Through memories of life trials and losses, the participants of this significant family event unexpectedly gain knowledge about the historical and ethnic roots of their family and the sources of their identity, restore their ancestral memory and intra-family connections, come to terms with their past, and as a result, understand themselves, their loved ones, and their future - all of which will help them overcome the obstacles that arise before them and find the right path.
