The film tells a unique story of three sisters of different ages, Reyhan, Nurhan, and Havva were sent to town as ‘besleme’ (foster children). Since they fail their foster parents for different reasons, they were sent back in their father's house after many years. Deprived of their dreams of a better life, they try to hold on to each other, revealing the practice of sending poor girls to work as servants for rich families.
It is a strikingly beautiful representation on how people from a lower class are trapped in their social status. The story is socially relevant as the growing gap between rich and poor people all over Europe.
Alper’s previous films include “Beyond the Hill,” which played in Berlin’s Forum section, and “Frenzy,” which won the special jury prize at Venice.
