GAP is a multi-sectoral and integrated regional development project based on the concept of sustainable development. It's not only an irrigation project but it covers hydraulic energy production, agriculture, rural and urban infrastructure, forestry, education, health, culture and tourism. Its basic aim is to eliminate regional development disparities by raising people's income level and living standards.

The project area covers 9 provinces in the Euphrates - Tigris basins and Upper Mesopotamia plains (Adıyaman, Batman, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Kilis, Mardin, Siirt, Şanlıurfa and Şırnak).

The documentary reveals the human and social aspects of the project in rural and urban areas of the Southeast. And it takes us to a changing world having a background of hundreds of years of tribal life.
