Two brothers, Osman and Hasan, disagree over allowing neighboring villagers to use the water on their land. Osman surrounds the water with barriers to prevent others from using it. Being a good man, Hasan argues that the others should also use the water. Confessing a murder actually committed by his brother, Hasan is convicted and sent to jail. After his release he learns that Osman used deception to take away his wife and marry her. Hasan loses control. In the ensuing fight, he drowns Osman in the water and then clears away the barriers.

Part of: The Property Trilogy

Metin Erksan's three films dealing with the problem of property in the 60s are considered to be the first trilogy of Turkish cinema. What director Erksan tells through land, water and the human body respectively are actually stories of passion. They deal with courage, resistance, solidarity and defiance. 'Property Trilogy', also called the village trilogy, in which he tells about the rural people, their problems, the transformations they experience, and their weaknesses through the reality of the village, consists of the films Revenge of the Snakes, Dry Summer and The Well.
