28 Days on the Moon

Cappadocia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, is a popular tourist site, visited by millions each year for its surreal-looking moonlike landscape and undeniably rich Christian Heritage. Located in the heartland of Anatolia in Turkey, this place is still inhabited by its own secluded, hospitable yet conservative Muslim people, who have been experiencing radical changes due to the international development of tourism. The film tells the story of three different villages and nine individuals. All interlinked yet unattached from the common realities of each others’ lives, they comment on the daily issues and highlight the important themes that may be of interest to everyone who travels, or traveled at some point, from their home to someone else’s home.
