“Famagusta”, Mega Channel’s long-awaited drama centered on the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, promises tragedy, secrets and suspense in a series that is sure to rekindle a lot of memories.
The drama series will premiere on the small screen this Sunday, Jan 21.
The series, which will play out over 24 episodes, is set in the summer of 1974, in Famagusta (Ammochostos), during the second Turkish invasion of Cyprus known as operation Attila II.
The story starts with Christina; a young woman we see running through the streets of Famagusta with her baby boy as fighter planes bomb the town.
After an explosion knocks her unconscious, Christina wakes up without her child.
Fifty years later, she and her husband Andreas have a loving family. They have raised three other children, but their firstborn’s unknown fate weighs heavy. The trauma never went away.
Then Michael, a 50-year-old man raised by a Greek-Cypriot family in London, arrives on Cyprus to film a documentary about the barbaric invasion based on the eye-witness accounts of Cypriots who survived the assault.
The stage is set for Michael to come face to face with the truth about his real mother and her painful story; Christina’s story.
