Synopsis:
This movie tells two stories in three settings, going back and forth between each story as the film proceeds. One is the story of two cowboy brothers who worked as mercenaries in Turkey around the turn of the century, and fall in love with the same woman. The other is set in contemporary New York, and is about a 90-year-old woman with a secret horde of Balkan gold and a thief, who surprisingly become friends. The third setting is the Ottoman Empire, circa 1913.
