A simple romance about how an American woman falls in love during World War I with a very handsome Turkish officer you may know from Game of Thrones. He didn't play a Turk in that series. It must be saccharine, historically almost embarrassing, and dramatically heightened in a somewhat simplistic way. No, there were no tears to be had.

Maybe it's just a simple romantic love story set somewhere in Turkey against the backdrop of World War I, but I was really moved by it. Moreover, there was a lot to see. It is definitely worth mentioning the good set design and breathtaking landscape shots. (70%)
