Osman Erol Taşçı decides to dam the spring on his property because he knows the coming summer will be too dry to support all the farmers who rely on its waters. His younger brother Hasan Ulvi Doğan urges him not to dam the spring, but reluctantly goes along with him. The farmers downstream are furious with Osman. They initiate a legal dispute. Osman is ordered to keep the spring open while the dispute is being resolved, but his own lawyer gets that order reversed. Hasan occasionally opens the dam out of pity for his neighbors, but Osman is quick to close it again.
