Synopsis:\u00a0 Russell Crowe\u2019s directorial debut, \u201cThe Water Diviner,\u201d is an epic and inspiring tale of one man\u2019s life-changing journey of discovery.\u00a0 Crowe plays Australian farmer Joshua Connor, who, in 1919, goes in search of his three missing sons, last known to have fought against the Turks in the bloody Battle of Gallipoli.\u00a0 Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone; her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdo\u011fan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor\u2019s boys and who may be this father\u2019s only hope.\u00a0 With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth\u2026\u00a0 and his own peace.<\/p>\n
