(Kıyı Kıyı)

Who passes us from Dalyan town to the Kaunos Tombs and Çandır village located on both sides of the canal which joins the Aegean Sea are the rowing women. Homes and boats for these women, who have been making a living from rowing for
many years, have become an extension of each other; and the relationships they established in these places and with these places have been intertwined. There and Back follows the daily lives of the rowing women whose lives are organized away from the patterns of the urban theories.
