After their father’s death, four sisters reunite at the family inn they inherited. Yasemin, Nilüfer, Defne, and Deniz, each with their own paths in life, come together on the same shore after years apart and swim in the sea together.

Old wounds resurface with the tide in Büşra Bilginer’s assured debut, which traces the ebb and flow of sisterhood with grace. Letting saltwater and time do the work of reconciliation, On the Shore frames the rhythmic returns of grief and memory with the serene beauty of the Turkish Riviera.
