A Tale of Three Sisters

"Three is a kind of guide for fairy tales. It's everywhere. There are the three little pigs, three questions from Little Red Riding Hood, three wishes from the genie, and so on. Now, this simple and moving Turkish drama takes advantage of the "magic number" to tell the story of three sisters. The fairy tale itself is not in the plot, which shows a father who wants to send his daughters away and thus try to give them a dignified life. The magic is in the imagination of these three, who try to understand their lives and their futures from a new perspective, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a dramatic movie with a high emotional charge, which should move much of the audience. However, those who embark on the dreams of these three - or rather, on the upside-down fairy tale they imagine - will find a simple story but with a memorable power. First-class Turkish cinema, to be moved."
