A “Detail in Cyprus” is a hopeful portrait of Cyprus as it once was and might still have been if the forces of hatred had not destroyed much of the old culture… The film is full of poetry, history and humanity. – Stephen Locke, Journal 26.02.1987. A woman with her daughter visits a ruined village in the middle of Cyprus flat land. Ex villagers, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots come to the ruins and each of them narrates a personal story of war. The conflict, which took place in 1964, transformed the peaceful, mixed village to a deserted area.
