Set in the early 1930s, this story captures the desperate struggle of rural peasant farmers as they band together to defend their village from the oppressive actions of a corrupt landowner. The landlord's ruthless plan to restrict their access to water jeopardizes their very survival, highlighting the stark realities of class exploitation. As the farmers resist, their efforts reveal both the strength of collective action and the harsh boundaries imposed by systemic inequality.
