Dry Summer (Turkish: Susuz Yaz), released in the United States as Reflections, is a 1964 black-and-white Turkish drama film, co-produced, co-written and directed by Metin Erksan based on a novel by Necati Cumalı, featuring Erol Taş as a tobacco farmer, who dams a river to irrigate his own property and ruin his competitors.

It is also available in an English dubbed U.S. theatrical release titled Reflections produced by William Shelton and edited by David E. Durston.

Osman decides to dam the spring on his property because he knows the summer will be too dry to support all the farmers who rely on its waters.

On their wedding night, Osman bursts into their bedroom and orders Bahar to breed as many as 10 children for the family.

One of the farmers kills Osman's dog, prompting the brothers to keep watch at night to prevent further violence.

[5] Social and individual themes are covered in the movie, as in Necati Cumalı's Dry Summer story.

The movie is about the right of property and the power struggle rising over land and water in a society in which agriculture-based production is dominant in the economy, a conflict such as the commodification and devaluation of women's value and body.

The power struggle between the Kocabaş brothers and the villagers is told in both legal and violent ways.
