Summary In Kurdistan, the last residents of Hasankeyf watch as their town disappears under the waters of Erdoğan’s unstoppable dam project. Promises of modernity strip villagers of their identities, replacing their traditional homes with bleak concrete. As shepherd Rengin and barber Burak navigate a strange new system, where survival depends on obedience, all that remains is family pride and a fragile sense of dignity.
