It is top class start for a first-time Director. It is a heart-warming and yet challenging depiction of 5 orphaned teenage sisters and the paternal culture that find themselves in a small community well away from the big cities. It starts with a scene of teenagers having fun and descends quickly into a nightmare. Yet it has many moments of humour and the photography is a highlight. Certainly the strong bond of love between them is depicted beautifully. The standout performance is the first-time actress who plays Lale, the youngest of the 5. She sees all, with maturity beyond her years. Her personalities of her siblings are varied with all trying to cope in their own ways. It appears that it is not all that common in modern day Turkey (as suggested by other reviews) yet I consider it a journey worth taking.
