Oroomieh lake with the circumference of more then 400 kilometers is located in northwest of Iran which used to attract many Iranian and foreigner tourists. Due to a lack of rainfall, several wells and underground waters resources have been utilized and dam constructions on the rivers have caused concerns that Oroomieh Lake will soon dry up. This film narrates the lake’s history when people enjoyed it at their leisure on the banks of this lake and ignored the consequences of its demise.
