On the outskirts of a town thirty miles from
Istanbul a master well digger and his young apprentice are hired to find
water on a barren plain. As they struggle in the summer heat,
excavating without luck meter by meter, the two will develop a filial
bond neither has known before, not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the
middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for
politically subversive activities. The pair will come to depend on each
other, and exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world. But
in the nearby town, where they buy provisions and take their evening
break, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The Red Haired
women, an irresistibly alluring member of a travelling theatre company,
catches his eye and seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. The
young man's wildest dream will be realized, but, when in his
distraction, a horrible accident befalls the well-digger, the boy will
flee, returning to Istanbul. Only years later will he discover whether
he was in fact responsible for his master's death and who the redheaded
enchantress was. A beguiling mystery tale of family and romance, of east
and west, tradition and modernity.
