    Perfect story, awesome movie!

    It's a movie which make you feel full of happiness and full of theatrical together. I've appreciated Yilmaz Erdogan with this phenomenal work.

    Classy!

    I've enjoyed every minute of this beautiful movie. If you want to enjoy great acting, not trivial plot, this is for you. The film is humane, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, just like life itself.

    One of the most impressive films

    There is a belief in our country like that: Sad and Happiness are two brothers. During its plot, the film shows this reality accurately.

    Three women and their impressive story. From Hakkari to Antalya.

    The film was inspired true stories. It was about Yilmaz Erdogan's aunts and His grandpa. So, I guess, you should watch it

    Worth watching

    I started watching this movie for Sukru... However story is simple and orated very well..It shows the lives of 3 sisters and their dreams. Life of people in 1980s and love during that time.

    Worth watching !

    Beautiful and dramatic story about the fortune of a Turkish girl, who is born in a village during 1950s. Eastern customs and traditions suffocate women's dreams and rights. This movie gives the sensation of Eastern culture, its colorful amaze and traditional rituals. Can't forget about views of gorgeous mountains and fields. Something worth watching, if you like Eastern culture and are interested in its customs. Personally, I loved it. I cried a lot due to amazing cast and producers. Wonderful and talented people worked really hard on this, it's evident
