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.
