Abstract

A family scene in which a grandmother talks about the city of Izmir(Smyrna) that she was raised and lived before the exchange of populations as the children requested for their bed time story. Music, video from movie and photos travel the audience to those times before Asia minor catastrophe and the deportation. The elders mainly focus to teach them core values written in the «compass of peace» as a learning outcome for next generation and describe slightly the painful historical events so as to inspire them and teach them about resilience, growth, hope and humanity for their future steps. The traumatic events are played in the photos and the nostalgic emotions are spoken through the music. In words only stories of hope, concern and love are expressed.
