For this, she had to give up her share in the law firm that she and her husband had organized. However, upon arriving in Turkey, she discovers an unfinished house on a farm instead of a villa on the seashore. And her neighbor Ahmet greets Natasha with shots from a gun. He considers the land where her house stands to be his own - he got it from his father. Natasha has to start everything from scratch. She meets a Russian girl, Anna, who married a Turk and is now bored. And while Anya helps the heroine settle in and tidy up part of the house, Ahmet is ready to do anything to make the life of his new neighbor unbearable and force her to leave.
Based around three of E.T.A. Hoffmann's tales ("Klein Zaches," "The Golden Pot" and "The Sandman"), with the main character being Hoffmann himself, this stop-motion fantasia focuses on the duality between the imaginative universe of his writings and his real-life profession as a government clerk.
