Cyprus The Moment Time Stood Still Set in Nicosia, the last divided European city, this extremely cinematic, poetic and dreamlike film regards the memories and nightmares of Greek Cypriots separated from their loved ones for two decades since the Turkish invasion in 1974. The conflict has been all but forgotten by the rest of the world, but the mothers, sisters, fathers and brothers seeking news of family members who disappeared without a trace cannot forget, as they gaze through barbed wire at what were once their homes. Enemy Mine, a six-part series, gives voice to ordinary individuals whose lives bear witness to the contemporary consequences of age-old tensions. These narratives may seem like fictional constructs, but they are true, and they are enacted by the real people involved, not by actors.
