This highly-acclaimed feminist film calls out the rampant misogyny in conservative Turkish culture by depicting five young sisters' survival in an abusive household. The director took events from her own life: - Teenage girls are beaten by family members. - "Virginity tests" take place, where teenage girls are forced to go to doctors and obtain written proof they have their hymens intact to restore their honor. - Multiple teenage girls are married off against their will to older men. - Implied rape of teenage girls by an older male family member happens twice off-screen. - A teenage girl has sex with an older man off the street as a form of self-harm.
