The Turkish documentary series follows the rise of the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of Mehmed the Conquerer. In 1453 AD, at the age of 21, Sultan Mehmed conquered Constantinople (now Istanbul) and brought an end to the centuries-old Byzantine Empire.
Osman Gazi has this dream while visiting his teacher, Sheikh Edebali. In the dream, two half-moons that rise from his and Edebali's chest unite and become a full moon in the sky, entering Osman's chest again. Then a plane tree rises from Osman's heart and covers the world. Under the tree, he sees the seas, rivers, people in villages and cities in justice and prosperity. When Osman Gazi explained his dream to Sheikh Edebali, one of the respected clergymen in the region, he interpreted it: "Allah the Almighty has given you and your generation the sultanate, blessed be it. And my daughter will be your wife." It was this dream that pointed to the conquest of Constantinople.
