Dry Summer

In a parched region where the summer sun bleaches the fields and every drop of water feels priceless, a close‑knit agricultural community clings to a fragile rhythm. The landscape is a tapestry of cracked earth and stubborn crops, a place where the land’s generosity is as unpredictable as the weather. This stark, sun‑scorched backdrop shapes the lives of those who work it, casting long shadows over daily survival and communal ties.

Into this world steps Osman, a forward‑thinking tobacco farmer whose ambition burns as fiercely as the season’s heat. He sees the looming drought not merely as a hardship but as a chance to reshape the balance of power among his neighbors. Beside him is his younger brother, _Hasan_, a more gentle soul who carries a quieter respect for the shared water that sustains the whole valley. Their bond is both a source of strength and a subtle point of tension, hinting at opposing visions of how far one should go to secure a future.

_Bahar_, a young woman newly woven into the family through marriage, brings a fresh perspective and an emotional core to the brothers’ world. Her presence amplifies the personal stakes that underlie the broader struggle for resources, suggesting that love and loyalty may become entangled with the harsh economics of the land. Around them, fellow farmers watch the shifting dynamics with a mix of curiosity and unease, aware that any change in the flow of water could reshape their own fortunes.

The film unfolds as a quiet, simmering portrait of rural life on the edge of scarcity, where the heat of the season mirrors the heat of ambition. It captures the delicate dance between tradition and self‑interest, inviting viewers to feel the weight of each decision that could tip the balance between cooperation and rivalry, without ever revealing the ultimate resolution of that tension.
