Dry Summer

Dry Summer is a film of passion, a passion for water as well as the obsessive passion created by forbidden love. Who does water belong to? Can anyone own this fundamental life element, “the blood of the earth”? Dry Summer has over the years lost none of its universal qualities or relevance, particularly today when wars and rebellions are waged because of droughts. It is an important piece of cinema, a legacy of Turkish filmmaking, and a strikingly original narrative. In today’s intellectually dry summers, when greed is driving humanity to the brink of starvation, it could hardly be more valid. red
