Synopsis

-ISTANBUL GATHERING-





Istanbul Gathering tells the story of a circle of friends in the heady expatriate scene of Istanbul in the sixties and seventies. American protagonist Andrew Malone, a shabby, middle-aged drinker and would-be writer, has returned to Istanbul for the first time in twenty years; his beautiful ex-wife Sylvia and other friends have never left. The narrative follows the characters over the course of a single day as they make their separate ways through the city and reflect on their lives before meeting for a reunion dinner in the old quarter of Beyoglu. This is a story about relationships and lost love; about the nostalgia if growing older and reminiscing on the past, which can never be regained; but also about the city of Istanbul, a place whose rich, many-layered history is kept alive through the shared memories of its inhabitants.
