Russell stars as Joshua Connor in the movie.
Water symbolises a spiritual connection the protagonist shares with three sons lost in the Great War (missing in action and presumed dead) and a grief-stricken wife.
Determined to bring his boys’ bodies home, Joshua travels to Constantinople and stays at a hotel managed by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko) as he tries to find a way to Gallipoli.

When Joshua encounters the people responsible for crimes against his sons, the film reveals its hand as a moral fable about the redemptive powers of forgiveness.
