A Journey Connecting Mythology and Romance
Tell Me Troy follows a group of film students who leave Istanbul in search of creative inspiration for their graduation projects. Their journey through the Northern Aegean draws on the epic worlds of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. As the students struggle to complete their screenplays, they find themselves caught up in a series of unexpected events.
The adventure also brings Aras and Bade back to a love story left unfinished in the past. Blending youthful ambition with romance and adventure, the series connects the region’s mythological heritage with a contemporary story of rediscovery.
