In a Turkish village, five orphaned sisters are kept under strict lock and key by their aunt and uncle after an entirely innocent encounter with a group of boys. As marriages start being arranged, the sisters, driven by the same desire for freedom, rebel against the limitations imposed upon them.
One of the most successful foreign-language debut features of recent times, Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Academy Award®-nominated tale of five tenacious sisters is intelligently personal and political. Scored by Warren Ellis, this new coming-of-age classic mines the tension between tradition and progress.
