In a remote village on the Black Sea coast, the home of five sisters is slowly turning into a fortress with iron bars. Directed by Deniz Gamze Ergüven, this harrowing drama captures the sisters’ sense of entrapment as they struggle to transition from girlhood to womanhood under the shadow of conservative values. An innocent afternoon spent on the beach with some boys is all it takes for every door in the house to be locked. In this confined space where marriage negotiations have begun, the sisters struggle to breathe, clinging to the network of solidarity they have woven with their own hands. As the walls of tradition rise higher, the possibility of escaping to the outside world becomes their only way out.
