Summary

The questions this film leaves its audience with are as burning as the eponymous heat of the title. Emre is the new prosecutor in the small Turkish town of Balkaya, which is struggling with water scarcity due to climate change. Groundwater is drained. creating huge holes in the earth on the outskirts of the city. Responsible for the resulting trial against the mayor, Emre soon finds himself caught in a web of political intrigue. When a young woman is raped, he has to wonder if he is only a victim and saviour but actually a perpetrator as well.
