Mustang
Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Oscar-nominated debut, Mustang, fizzes with the restlessness of childhood, as we follow five orphaned sisters growing up in rural Turkey. Set among a conservatve community where marriageability is king, the girls’ dreams of independence and freedom are soon curtailed for a rigorous domestic education and a queue of potential suitors. Narrated by the youngest, Lale, who rebels against her pre-determined fate, Mustang is an unforgettable depiction of female struggle.
