The Palace - 1974 Cyprus

THE PALACE

The story was inspired by true events that took place during the 1974 invasion of Cyprus.

A Cypriot family flees advancing Turkish forces and takes refuge in an abandoned Ottoman-era palace. When a young Turkish Cypriot conscript comes face to face with the family in hiding, he is forced to confront the brutal reality of war and his role in it.

“Spanning a mere 17 minutes and inspired by true events, the film’s biggest triumph is its ability to capture and hold captive audience emotion… I was left breathless afterwards… a captivating masterpiece. 

How Maras managed this in the space of 17 minutes highlights his talent as a filmmaker.”
