Mustang
Based in a village in northern Turkey, the movie follows the story of conservatism tied in with religious restrictions. When five orphan girls are seen innocently playing with boys on a beach, their scandalised conservative guardians confine them while forced marriages are arranged.
Mustang offers a laugh and a tear, approaching the different perspectives of the young ladies growing up, and discovering their sexuality.
