Greeks had to leave the north and Turks the south.<\/p>\n<div id=\"text-translation-video-ad\">\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6\">\n<div class=\"text-translation-target target\" data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\">Empty houses remained on both sides. Sometimes whole villages or districts have lost their original population. For example Moutallos, the district of Pafos formerly inhabited by Turkish Cypriots, the European Capital of Culture 2017.<\/div>\n<div data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-translation-target target\" data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\">Village communities that have functioned for generations have been torn apart, and many have been forced to move into houses that belong to someone else. People have been forced to settle in a state of uncertainty. With all the social, socio-psychological and cultural consequences that this entails.<\/div>\n<div data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-translation-target target\" data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\">More than forty years have passed since then. And in the meantime almost two generations have grown up who have experienced Cyprus only as a divided island.<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-translation-target target\" data-pons-indicator-selector=\".target_indicator\">The film tells the story of this uprooting process from the critical perspective of two young Cypriots: ARGYRO NICOLAOU and SILVIO RUSMIGO. They are representatives of a young generation of educated, self-confident and politically interested Cypriots who want to leave behind their grandparents&#8217; and parents&#8217; generation&#8217;s entrenched positions on the Cyprus conflict and its consequences without losing sight of their cultural origins.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director: Hansj\u00fcrgen Schm\u00f6lzer Author: Hansj\u00fcrgen Schm\u00f6lzer Camera Operator: Gerfried Guggi Editor: Uwe Seifner Production: BSX-Schm\u00f6lzer GmbH TV Documentary UHD 45 Min.
