Tale of Tala

Life and death. Victory and defeat. Hope and despair. In "Tala's Story," Henry, a renowned New York writer, tries to cope with the sudden death of his mother and the failure of his latest novel. His life, once crowned with success, suddenly collapses. He decides to travel to Amsterdam, where he indulges in worldly pleasures and vices. But Amsterdam is not enough for him. Wanting more, he packs his bags and heads to Slovenia. There, he meets Tala, an extremely beautiful but scheming prostitute. A Palestinian refugee, she strikes a fatal blow to Henry with her tragic story, her successive losses and suffering: her perilous journey between Turkey and Greece, her desperate search for her husband Bilal, and her falling victim to a human trafficking network. Tala captivates him, so he promises to search for her missing husband and even vows to protect his beloved and inspiration from life's tragedies. But how far will Henry go to keep Tala? And keep her for himself? Three characters. Three paths. One story. In the balance: lies and truth, assassination and safety, war and conflict versus peace. When someone who has long been accustomed to profit loses everything he owns, does he turn into a victim or an executioner? Life over Death. Triumph over Failure. Hope over Despair.
