Yasam Arsizi plot

Elif and her sisters Funda and Aysun have spent much of their adult lives coping with a traumatic childhood in which their parents were killed in a bus accident, leaving the siblings terrified but physically unharmed. Over time, Funda and Aysun became mentally ill and Elif had to care for them, but eventually the burden became too much for Elif and her husband to bear and they abandoned the siblings to an unknown fate. Living in a country with no social safety net, Funda and Aysun fall prey to violence and exploitation. Eventually, they reunite with Elif and Yasemin.
