In a small Turkish village five young orphaned sisters are being raised by their strict, conservative grandmother. After they’re caught playing with some boys on the beach, their grandmother furiously places them under house arrest. Co-written with Alice Winocour, Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s debut feature is a tender exploration of sisterhood, and the fear and discomfort some cultures and communities still feel about blossoming womanhood.
