Film description
After many years apart, three sisters reunite under their father’s rustic roof, when returning to their small village in the mountains of Anatolia, each for her own reasons. Between snowy mountain peaks, under their domineering father’s eye, the three women seem to repeat past mistakes over and over again, in a gloomy mesmeric tale that delicately blends Chekhov and the Grimm brothers. Set against a breathtaking unearthly landscape that turns at night into a fearsome land of hidden dangers, life is depicted as an eternal parade of recurring patterns – many scenes even seem to happen twice – which leads inescapably to disaster.
