MOVIE ON THE INSPIRING DESTINY OF SERBIAN PRINCESS OLIVERA DESPINA
Now, here's something historical which you probably won't be able to see around the world, but the story is interesting. A television movie THE PATH STREWN WITH ROSES is a Serbian project which mixes live action scenes with documentary narration. The movie describes the tragic, and yet deeply inspiring, destiny of famous Serbian princess Olivera, also known as Olivera Despina. After her father King Lazar was killed at the famous Kosovo battle in 1389, in which the Serbian army was trying to fend of the Turkish invasion, Serbian Queen Milica was forced to marry her daughter to new Turkish Sultan Bayezid. Even though the Turkish
army has destroyed her country and killed her father, her cousins, her grandfather and countless Serbian soldiers, Olivera had to marry Bayezid in order to prevent the further destruction of her land and as a 
pledge of peace between her Lazarevic dynasty and the Ottoman dynasty. Deeply honouring her sacrifice, the people of Serbia had covered the roads that Olivera travelled through on her way to sultan's court with roses.
But when she got to the sultan's palace, the sultan, who was supposed to be her enemy, actually fell deeply in love with gentle, wise and profound princess Olivera making her his new wife and his favourite in the harem. She remained there for 12 years, managing to save her own country and to win over the heart of the man whose father has destroyed her family and her homeland. Even though she was married to the Turkish sultan she never converted to Islam remaining a Christian till her death. She had a great influence on the sultan, which helped her people, country, and family survive the turbulent times. In the Battle of Ankara in 1402, Olivera and Bayezid were captured by Mongol Khan 
Tamerlane. Legends say that in his love Bayezid couldn't stand seeing Olivera in captivity and he died from a broken heart. After his death, princess Olivera was actually released by Khan Tamerlane who 
had a deep respect for her brother Despot Stefan, the ruler of Serbia, and she then spent the rest of her life at her brother's court
in Serbia doing charity work, opening schools and hospitals deeply valued and respected by her people for her self-sacrifice and modesty.
