Do we dare look back at memories so terrible that remembering may threaten the life we know today?

To look back at those days most certainly will not be easy and will trigger events that are as yet unforeseeable for David and Leyla. There is no choice, as events out of their control relentlessly push them forward to a recollection avoided for nearly 100 years.
