One of the earliest Jewish communities in Anatolia was located in Ankara. Their history goes back to the 2nd Century BC. After the migrations in the 15th Century from Spain and Portugal, and later from Germany and other European countries in early 20th Century, the community had reached its highest numbers in the city. The documentary portrays the untold story of the community through interviews with the community members who migrated from Ankara to İstanbul, or to Israel.
