As the title says it is the tale of three sisters holding on to each other during times of separation.
We witness stories of love, hatred, suffering, helplessness, fear, hope and dream through the eyes of women.
The village is so picturesque and mountains are breathtaking, this adds melancholy to the stories.
If you wanna have a pastoral evening witnessing sincere women stories, here's your pick, don't miss it!

A great Emin Alper movie. I wish I could see the world like Emin Alper. I think he is the only filmmaker I want to meet in Turkish cinema. To praise a movie, you can say "Like Emin Alper's work"
This wonderful story is told with such intensity and subtlety, that resembles the craft of Arthur Miller. With its twists and turns, the story unfolds such that one cannot grasp its complexity all at once. Alper depicts the multidimensionality of culture in a very neutral, unjudgemental way. His characters surrender to norms or fight against them, but nonetheless are captured like butterflies in a jar, relentlessly aiming at an escape through the glass walls, towards the world.
A sad tale, a society where people are subjugated all the time, women subjected to masculine decisions, young people considered incapable, the harbinger of a tragedy, there is no one just good or bad, but acting in accordance with a prejudiced, rooted culture sexist and hierarchist, lovely photography, despite suffering, very good to rejoice in such an adverse culture, its peculiarities, simplicity, rustic and rude... Filled with symbolism, the scorpion, the woman of somersaults, the cold and the stone houses. ..
Actualy this film so sincerity but the story was like a ''Channel 7''s television movie shot... with high budget and perfect actors.
