After the Second World War, the American Marshall Plan floods Turkey with tractors; on the Çukurova plain, landowners no longer need the labourers from the mountain villages, who wander amid dust and heat until they find sustenance in the field of a kind melon grower.

For readers interested in Turkish literature and in the economic and social transformation of rural Turkey in the 1950s.
