Times Waters

A Macedonian village has always struggled to find ways to bring water to its arid land a struggle that may be won when a native son returns from America with the idea of setting up a watermill Such an enterprise gets two villages in conflict over water rights threatening to permanently turn people against each other In the past the territory had been occupied by the Italian armies and a flashback shows a massacre in one village a revelation that disaster has been a part of their history in one way or another No matter how he argues the young man who advocated the watermill loses out to the builders of a dam something that does not bode well for the lowlying village
