In 1974, the island of Cyprus was divided into the "north", to this day only recognised by Turkey, and the "south", which is part of the EU. Until 2003 the border was sealed, and though today people can move relatively freely between both sides, Nicosia remains the last divided capital of the world. 

In this episodes, a mother and a daughter tell their stories of this border, remember how it shaped their childhoods and changed their lives.
