Ozpetek (STEAM: THE TURKISH BATH, HIS SECRET LIFE) presents the second film in
his erotica trilogy. HAREM is an epic tale of sexuality and sensuality set
against the historical backdrop of the early 1900s in Baghdad. As the Ottoman
Empire comes to an end, an old servant spins a tale to keep the women in the
Sultan`s harem distracted. The story is about Safiye, who first becomes the
Sultan`s favorite concubine, and later the official wife. As she gains power and
influence, she engages in a tryst with Nadir, the black eunuch. When the Empire
falls, the Sultan escapes to Europe, leaving all the concubines behind. Safiye
fights for their rights under the new order.
