See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a remote Turkish village, five orphaned sisters have their lives turned upside down after an innocent game with boys on the beach is scandalously misinterpreted by their conservative guardians. Their home is progressively turned into a prison, and they are subjected to arranged marriages. The film follows the sisters as they rebel in various ways against the strict confines imposed upon them, fighting for their freedom and individuality.
