Sisters

With the original title Kardeş Çocukları, a wedge is driven between sisters Ümran and Umay in their youth when they both fall in love with Yıldırım, a handsome young doctor who comes to their village from Istanbul. Ümran sets her heart on him, but inspired by dreams of escaping to the big city Umay steals him away. With this bitterest of betrayals, their conflicting passions and ambition tear apart the bonds of sisterhood and send them on vastly different life journeys. Sisters English subtitles.
Hayat, whose name means life, is born of this betrayal and she is abandoned by her mother Umay who flees to Istanbul in pursuit of a new life, without so much as looking back. There she will have another daughter Hayal, which means dream. Back in the village, Ümran is left to bring up Hayat, blotting out her heartache with the duties of motherhood. Sisters English subtitles.
Ümran and Hayat eke out a life amid poverty in a small, nondescript village called Beyciler in central Anatolia. Her nemesis, the high society beauty Umay Karay carves out an opulent life in the glamorous heart of the Istanbul jet set with her daughter Hayal.
But immortal ties bind together these mothers and daughters and their paths are destined to cross despite the distance between their lives and dreams. Sisters English subtitles.
Hayat is a great fan of Umay Karay, whom she knows from the pages of celebrity magazines. But her life is far removed from such beauty and glamour, crushed under the dark shadow of her heartless, cruel Cemal, who she wrongly believes is her father. As his violence spirals, Ümran stabs the abusive Cemal in her desperate efforts to protect her daughter. The attack leaves Ümran facing a future in prison while Hayat is left to the mercy of Cemal.
