Synopsis

Seyfe Lake, which has given life to environment and provided life to hundreds of living creatures, has been the culture and the place where the society earned their living on steppes of Central Anatolia, is now completely evaporated. Evaporation of the water affected all lives in the territory in a negative way. See the story of our wiped out lakes, our birds which cannot find water for their nestlings and fly back to mountains, cranes that their names only live in folk songs, and see the sadness of the peasants identify the lake with themselves and lament for that.
