Synopsis

A stunning sensory experience and a powerful piece of social commentary cinema, Oscar-nominated Mustang is set to be one of this year’s most talked-about films. Five fiercely independent sisters, up against the social traditions and family values of small town Turkey fight back against the iron fist rule of an overbearing uncle. Severely punished for their innocent crime of being born female, the girls lean on each other to draw strength and determination in their pursuit of personal freedom.

 

Set against the sumptuous backdrop of rural Turkey and accompanied by a rousing score from Warren Ellis, this stunning sensory achievement is Deniz Gamze Erguven’s debut feature. Touching on and delicately presenting sensitive issues, Erguven focuses her attention on the triumph and impassioned power of the human spirit. Critically lauded and presented at films festivals worldwide, this is guaranteed to be one of the most talked-about films of the year.
