Early summer. In a village in northern Turkey, Lale and her four sisters are walking home from school, playing innocently with some boys. The immorality of their play sets off a scandal that has unexpected consequences. The family home is progressively transformed into a prison; instruction in homemaking replaces school and marriages start being arranged. The five sisters who share a common passion for freedom, find ways of getting around the constraints imposed on them. —Festival de Cannespretending to swimistanbul turkeyforced weddingvirginityteenage girl199 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesTheir spirit would never be brokenGenreDramaMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual content and a rude gestureParents guide
