Acerca de esta película

It's the beginning of the summer. In a village in the north of Turkey, Lale and her four sisters come home from school, innocently playing with boys. The supposed debauchery of their games causes a scandal with unintended consequences. The family home slowly turns into a prison, classes on housework and cooking replace school, and marriages begin to be arranged. The five sisters, driven by the same desire for freedom, fight back against the limits imposed on them.

This is a beautiful film with the most marvellous performances from the young girls who play the main roles. Of course it says a great deal about the struggle that is going on in Turkey between the people who want to go back to traditional values and those who want a more Western oriented country. On the other hand it is a story about personal freedom and the right to pursue one's own destiny. The highlight of the film for me is the scene when the girls go to a football match. I thoroughly reccomend this.

It’s a great film.
