Summary

Pathe synopsis: How about a flying visit to fairyland? It can happen because in the heart of Turkey there’s a true wonder of the world they call land of the Fairy Chimneys. Volcanoes and erosion have shaped and weathered the limestone rock into weird peaks and pinnacles, like a petrified forest of fossils. And people live in them, by carving out windows, doors and all mod cons in a land you’d never believe was true if you hadn’t seen it.
