English, Greek, Turkish with English subtitles

Following war in 1974, in which more than 200,000 Greek and Turkish Cypriots were displaced, the island of Cyprus has remained divided until today, separating the two communities that once lived together. An art project between children of the two communities that never actually met, but exchanged video messages between them and materials from their city, creates a communication bridge between them.
