The Windmill

In the last years of the Ottoman Empire, a poor little Thrace town Saripinar, is hit by a minor earthquake which has neither destroyed nor left it with many casualties. However, a telegraph sent to the central government exaggerates the situation and mentions that the governor of the town has been severely wounded, making the event a nationwide matter.
