Adakale Stories

About this title

This documentary tells the fairy-tale-like story of Adakale, a unique island on the Danube River inhabited solely by Turks, which was submerged in 1970 by the waters of a newly built dam. At its core, the film explores the profound ache of a lost homeland. It is a poetic elegy for a disappeared world, narrated through memories and the grief of those who had to leave.
