THE PROMISE

In 1914, Armenian medical student Michael travels to the grand city of Constantinople to train as a doctor. There, he falls in love with Ana, a French-educated Armenian artist who is already in a relationship with the fiery Chris, an American journalist reporting on the growing tensions between Turkey and Armenia. Drawn to each other regardless, Michael and Ana are torn apart when they find themselves on the run for their lives as war breaks out and the Empire turns against its own people.
