ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE, BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM (FRANCE)

A sensation at Cannes, this poignant, award-winning first feature explores the lives of five orphaned sisters in a coastal village in Turkey. When their innocent games with neighborhood boys provoke a local scandal, their guardians react by reining them in. The family home turns into a prison, classes on housework and cooking replace school, and marriages begin to be arranged. But the sisters, united in their desire for freedom, fight back against the limits imposed on them.
