A gripping mix of comedy, tragedy, political anger and, despite everything, hope.

Mustang follows five orphaned teenage sisters in rural Turkey whose innocent play with boys sparks a scandal, causing conservative relatives impose strict controls. Through sisterhood, defiance, and yearning for autonomy, the girls resist their loss of freedom in different ways… Ergüven's critically acclaimed and award-winning debut is also notable for featuring Bad Seed Warren Ellis' first solo film score.
