The history of the town Sinop goes back to several thousands of years at the Black Sea Coast. Having been an important seaport, Sinop went through a lot of historical changes in this enormous period of time.
Today, Sinop turns into a lively tourist center during summer. The Video is referring to the role of Sinop in the course of time and its very special character and its own struggles as a Black Sea town. The title of the work paraphrases the toponym, Kara Deniz “(Black Sea) to karışık deniz” (mixed/complicated sea)
