Emin Alper : 2019
Kız Kardeşler
The three sisters, twenty-year-old Reyhan, sixteen-year-old Nurhan and Havva who is thirteen, all live with their father in a remote village in central Anatolia. One after the other they were sent away to town to work as housemaids, but each of them has now returned. The last of the sisters to do so is Nurhan. She beat the local doctor's son because he wet his bed every night. When Reyhan returned home pregnant, her father hastily married her off to the shepherd, Veysel. One day, the inebriated Veysel rises up against the village elder; his actions have dramatic consequences. Even if the dream of a better future does not come true for any of these young women and they always seem to be getting into arguments with each other, they nonetheless steadfastly stick together. While they wait for the snow-covered roads to become passable again, father and daughters pass the time with stories. A fairy tale in haunting images that portrays a society in which neither women nor men have a chance to break their predetermined cycle. Emin Alper's feature premiered in competition at Berlin International Film Festival 2019.
