The horror of the system is that no one can easily break it, and no one can ignore it. China has just stepped out of the feudal state for decades, and the people of the country are beginning to express feelings about the decline of the world and the lack of faith. This film, which will replace French Chong'ao, aims at the fate of rural women in Turkey, and tries to use five lively girls to arouse people’s concerns. Torture of traditional etiquette. First of all, the film succeeded in doing this. The situation of the girls is so embarrassing. Freedom is so precious. Instead of living in a dogmatic society of acquaintances, it is better to live in a cold and ruthless jungle world. The choice of the little girl in the film is exactly this. She would rather escape the house and go to Istanbul, where she knows nothing.


Director Tinis Aegwyn is a complete novice. This virginity is highly completed. While ensuring the play, it uses authored images to tell the story. A large number of handheld photography and natural light sources make the movie look like a documentary, and it's closer. With the distance between the audience and the actors, the sense of presence becomes stronger. The camera walks against the girls' bodies, showing a healthy sensuality in some small fresh tones. The girls’ bodies are so beautiful, and the director’s shots are also beautiful. However, as the plot progresses, the audience will find that the cleaner the camera, the darker the fate of the characters.

The opening seaside carnival looks like a youth film. On the first day of summer vacation, the beautiful beach scene, boys and girls frolicking. The girls returned happily, but what awaited them was the punishment education of grandma, who represented morality and ethics. The grandmother warned them that incompetence with the boys would cause them to be unable to marry and ruin them for a lifetime, and then locked them up and even asked their uncle to take them to a test of virginity. However, youth is a beast that cannot be shut down. When grandma saw the girls sneaking out to watch a football game on TV, she fainted and cut off the power directly to prevent others from seeing it. It can be seen that the local traditional women are afraid of "fame." It was precisely this time that the parents were moved to marry these girls. In just one summer vacation, the five sisters married three in succession. The process was as simple as buying daily necessities. These beautiful girls have the best years, but they can't make the shots. They have been under imprisonment all their lives, so the quirky little girl begins to plan to escape.


The director did not deny that he wanted to use the film to change the original intention of Turkish society. Watching the first half was successful. The documentary-quality images showed an amazing daily life. Although there were no obvious conflicts, the undercurrents surged and the girls' experiences made people feel palpable. This part is reminiscent of Ozu Yasujiro, Eddie Hiroshi's and other life-style movies. Only by breaking up every drama conflict can we make a real conflict of life. However, in the second half of the film, the film began to develop towards drama and became a Hollywood-style plot. The little girl prepared for the escape plan, escaped from the magic cave at the most critical moment, and reached the land of dreams. The plot and ending are improving. The movie-watching experience sacrificed the power that the movie should have at the same time, which has to be said to be a big failure.

The director is eager to present the problems encountered by Turkish women, imprisoned girls, arranged marriages, sexual assault in the family, and social tragedies caused by the virgin complex. These real problems all appear in the film, which is carried by a film. Too many, the director does not want to stop, but lack of foreshadowing, making some plots seem abrupt. Of course, a movie is a dream-making machine. As the director said, this is an autobiographical movie, but when she was punished when she was a child, she dared not run out, but bowed her head to accept it silently. In the movie, she can finally let the little girl escape bravely by herself. Maybe this can only be a dream, but the problems revealed by the movie happen every day.
