Considered to be a romance film I would give a 5/10.
The writer and the director "note" at the beginning that their film was inspired from true events and try to give a true aspect in the film. I am fan of Turkish movies because they are original and try to explain the Turkish way of living and thinking (for example from Çağan Irmak).
From my point of view the film is so evidence based on true events as the Da Vinci Code film:) Even if you try, the events do not match a real chronological order, the people in the 1950-1970 were not so open minded (both Greeks and Turks) to afford love affairs. The plot is overall a love affair of a lady with an British, a Greek and a Turk, interrupted with a Rape and shootings between Greeks and Turks. The only real things are the names that match with the ethnicity (see Adamos, Kemal etc:)
I wouldn't say not watch it, but I would expect more for this kind of movie, except if you see it only as a romance film.
