Three friends decide to abandon their poverty-stricken village and try their luck in Çukurova, a cotton-growing region in southern Turkey.
Erden Kıral’s masterful adaptation of Orhan Kemal’s social-realist novel is an unflinching yet empathetic reflection of rural hardship and unfulfilled aspirations. Compelling us to confront systemic exploitation in Çukurova’s cotton fields, Kıral paints a landscape where dreams and despair coexist.
