Résumé : In 1974, two teenagers, from opposite sides of a diveded Cyprus, meet at a tavern in the city they both call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek, and Defne, who is Turkish, can meet in secret, hideen beneath the leaves of a fig tree growing through the roof  of the tavern. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings, and will be there when the war breaks out and the teenagers vanish.
