Plot
In March 1903, amidst the crumbling Ottoman Empire, Macedonia remains unliberated, with its revolutionary movement burgeoning. In retaliation for supporting freedom fighters, the Turks besiege a wedding, capturing over two hundred villagers and sentencing them to lengthy prison terms. These prisoners are then transported to Asia Minor, enduring severe hardships and humiliation through the desert, with many perishing along the way before reaching their final destination in October 1908.
