Dolmabahce Palace, completed in 1855 with the first foreign debt, was a flamboyant symbol of the Ottoman efforts to westernize. The palace hosted six sultans and witnessed the fall of the Empire. After the proclamation of the Republic, Ataturk spent almost four years in Istanbul mostly at Dolmabahce Palace. The Palace then played the role of a center for educational and cultural reforms which were a part of the Turkish revolution. In 1938 Ataturk passed away in Dolmabahce Palace, which is a museum today in service of all. The research for this documentary, planned for the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ataturk, took one year and filming was completed in three months. The film compares the role of the Palace in the Ottoman period with its transformation in the Republic, enhanced by the incomparable presence of Ataturk, in a detailed portrait of space and structure.
