Deniz Gamze Ergüven was nominated for the Oscar and the Golden Globe for her debut. Everyone seems to fall easy on her and so does her film. Above her paintings lies lightness, such a shimmering summer feeling! It is the last day of school before the big holidays. Five sisters - our heroines - are already romping around the sea, each on the shoulders of a boy. They seem to be quite light-hearted and cheerful, but this is deceptive. The five girls are not in the Atlantic, but in the Black Sea in Turkey. At home they are confronted with the angry grandmother. Too much temperament, too much passion! A neighbor snitched on her and called the orphaned girls whores. From that day on, their home becomes a prison. They are no longer allowed to go to school, they are allowed to cook at home. Now it's time to find husbands as quickly as possible. The sisters' experiences get worse and worse, and their urge for freedom is provoked more and more. We experience everything from the perspective of the youngest, Lale. She almost casually mentions that this is probably the last time they will be together. Suddenly a gloomy premonition lies down on the hustle and bustle.............................................. But although the uncle guards the girls night after night - Deniz Gamze Ergüven's film is about the untameable spirit of freedom and that is typical for this generation (Ergüvens is sure about that!). Your whole film is a promise of change and that will shake Turkey.
