Portrait of a Scandalous Family

Set in 1912, “Şakir Paşa Ailesi - Portrait of a Scandalous Family” tells the story of the extraordinary lives and relationships of the Şakir Paşa family. Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı will radically change everyone's lives when he returns to his family home in Büyükada with his Italian wife. Today, he is known as "the Fisherman of Halicarnassus" and his writings have helped Bodrum become a popular tourist destination. We also get to know other family members such as princess Fahrelnisa Zeid, a master of modern painting; Aliye Berger, the first Turkish engraver; and Füreya Koral, the first Turkish ceramic artist.
