Experiencing Interruptions?

In Summer

How do you qualify for the love of your father? By being as obedient and faithful as possible to traditions? Or by living completely free and untouched? The Turkish sisters Meral and Elif have contrasting ways of life, which creates tension when they help their father move to Turkey. The memories melt together with the present-day, where their father is no longer present. Can these different women learn to appreciate each other again when they share a loss?
