Ottoman soldiers, who were captured during the First World War, were able to return to their country in 1922. The letters that these soldiers wrote to their families were the only sources of communication with them.
We deliver the letters that are waiting in the archives of 3 soldiers captured in Siberia a hundred years ago to their families. What will they feel when they receive these 3 grandchildren who never saw their grandparents? What is being told in these letters? These letters, which have been waiting to be read for a century, are the letters of captive soldiers.
