Synopsis

A story about Elif, who, at the age of 16, is forced to confront the harshest and most painful aspects of life. It follows her struggle to remain a good person despite facing tragic events that are too overwhelming for someone so young.

Our take

Fractured lives intersect against a background of unspoken histories in Yasemin Alkaya’s unflinching film. Capturing a resilience that endures despite societal neglect and generational trauma, Sidewalk Sisters shows how memory and reality can collide, exposing wounds only solidarity can heal.
