About the show

Young Kaymakam Fikret Irmaklı arrives in Çukurova and is misled by wealthy rice growers about the harm their irrigation will cause. After learning that flooding will trap villagers in malaria, he revokes their permits and tries to stop the water, but the landowners bribe guards and obtain his transfer. The peasants accept money to leave their homes, while Memed alone refuses to yield; Irmaklı departs to continue his struggle elsewhere.
