சூல்

Urulaikudi lies in the karisal, the dry black-soil country around Kovilpatti in southern Tamil Nadu, and its farmers depend on the kanmai, a crescent-shaped rain-fed lake, to water their fields. Village quarrels, such as the feud that begins when Mahalingam Pillai shoots a goat grazing on his land, sit beside the community's old knowledge of farming and water, while neglect and greed bring about the destruction of the lake.
