Burning Days

“A pig hunt in the middle of town.”

Nobody in the small Anatolian town of Yaniklar will say why the taps keep running dry, or who profits while the wells fail. Emre (Selahattin Paşalı), the new state prosecutor, arrives as the mayoral election closes in, and then a young local woman is raped. Emin Alper keeps Emre moving through dust and heat, cut off from the town, with the water still failing.
