'Rival historians' drive story

The series follows two ambitious art historians competing for the same university position.

Sila Turkoglu portrays "Bahar" and Serkan Cayoglu portrays "Toprak," with veteran actor Levent Ozdilek playing "Professor."

The characters' paths cross as they research Türkiye's historical and cultural heritage sites, taking them through landmark locations in Ankara, Eskisehir, Konya and Corum.

Central Anatolia takes center stage

The mini-series spotlights the region's history, art, natural landscapes and gastronomy within a romantic narrative framework, according to TGA. Ankara, the capital, along with Eskisehir, Konya and Corum, serve as the backdrop as the two lead characters get to know one another while tracing the region's past.
