Synopsis

Storyline:

A strong-willed young woman, who, frustrated by on-going injustice at home, leaves the U.S. after meeting Jude, an American doctor who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire. A world both exotic and dangerous, and on the brink of what is about to become World War I. There, she finds her loyalty to Jude and the mission’s founder tested when she falls in love with their perceived enemy, a Lieutenant in the Ottoman Imperial Army. Now, with invading army forces at their doorstep, and the world about to plunge into all-out war, she must make a decision if she wants to be what other people want her to be, or to be herself.

User Reviews: Art management is great. As a historical movie, It has a very successful interpretation. The orientalist point of view is not on the uncomfortable level. It will be a special place among historical films. Such movies do not come often. The cast have been quite accurate. They did not seem inaccurate in their roles.
