Das Flüstern der Feigenbäume
Im Jahr 1974 befindet sich das idyllische Zypern kurz vor dem Bürgerkrieg. Eine Taverne, betrieben von einem schwulen Paar, ist der einzige Ort, an dem sich der Grieche Kostas und die Türkin Defne treffen können. Der prachtvolle Feigenbaum im Innenhof der Taverne ist Zeuge ihrer glücklichen Begegnungen und stillen Abschiede. Der Feigenbaum ist auch da, als der Krieg ausbricht und Menschen auf der ganzen Insel spurlos verschwinden. In der Gegenwart steht der Baum im Garten von Kostas und seiner 16-jährigen Tochter Ada in London. Ada weiß nichts von ihrer Heimat, Kostas hüllt sich in Schweigen, wenn es um seine verstorbene Frau Defne geht, Adas Mutter. Nur die Wurzeln des Baums stellen noch eine Verbindung dar zu dem, was geschehen ist. Doch Ada forscht nach: Was verbirgt sich hinter dem Schweigen ihres Vaters? Warum musste ihre Mutter sterben? Während sie die dunklen Schatten ihrer Familie ausleuchtet, erwartet die Feige im Garten den kältesten Wintereinbruch seit Jahrzehnten.
