Set in 1919 after the Battle of Gallipoli--a futile attempt by the allies to take a prominent Ottoman peninsula during World War I--The Water Diviner follows an Australian farmer named Connor (Russell Crowe) who travels to Turkey determined to bring back the bodies of his sons after they are presumably killed in battle, only to find out their might be more hope for them than he thought.
