SYNOPSIS
EN > DJAM, a young Greek woman, is sent to Istanbul by her uncle Kakourgos, a former sailor and passionate fan of Rebetiko, on a mission to find a rare engine part for their boat. There she meets Avril, 18, who came from France to volunteer with refugees, ran out of money, and knows no one in Turkey. Generous, sassy, unpredictable and free, Djam takes Avril under her wing on the way to Mytilene—a journey made of music, encounters, sharing and hope.
FR > Djam, une jeune femme grecque, est envoyée à Istanbul par son oncle Kakourgos, un ancien marin passionné de Rébétiko, pour trouver la pièce rare qui réparera leur bateau. Elle y rencontre Avril, une française de dix-huit ans, seule et sans argent, venue en Turquie pour être bénévole auprès des réfugiés. Djam, généreuse, insolente, imprévisible et libre la prend alors sous son aile sur le chemin vers Mytilène. Un voyage fait de rencontres, de musique, de partage et d’espoir.
