The Property Trilogy

Metin Erksan's three films dealing with the problem of property in the 60s are considered to be the first trilogy of Turkish cinema. What director Erksan tells through land, water and the human body respectively are actually stories of passion. They deal with courage, resistance, solidarity and defiance. 'Property Trilogy', also called the village trilogy, in which he tells about the rural people, their problems, the transformations they experience, and their weaknesses through the reality of the village, consists of the films Revenge of the Snakes, Dry Summer and The Well.
