在这部揭开伊斯坦布尔的面纱纪录片片中,从旋转舞僧侣到千层酥糕点厨，从公共浴场按摩师到肚皮舞者，从地毯商人到博斯普鲁斯海滨豪宅的女主人，各类当地代表作为“游客”采访对象，基于导演作为导游和旅游手册撰写者的经验，从普通游客的好奇视角设计提问，呈现该城多领域文化的互动。在介绍老皇宫、索菲亚大教堂、蓝色清真寺和大巴扎等景点的同时也强调真实的伊斯坦布尔及其居民形象。（豆瓣电影字幕翻译2.0小组）
An American who had some family members in Istanbul is trying to discover Istanbul. She visits the off-the-beaten places and interviews the most interesting characters with her questions about the most wondered topics. A variety of colorful and interesting people representing the Turkish culture, from one of the richest women in Turkey to a masseur at a public bath and the best belly dancer in the country were chosen. By this way, interaction with a large cultural cross-section of local people providing a much richer experience was preferred.
