Mustang Movie Synopsis & Plot

Early summer in a village in Northern Turkey. Five free-spirited teenaged sisters splash about on the beach with their male classmates. Though their games are merely innocent fun, a neighbor passes by and reports what she considers to be illicit behavior to the girls' family. The family overreacts, removing all "instruments of corruption," like cell phones and computers, and essentially imprisoning the girls, subjecting them to endless lessons in housework in preparation for them to become brides. As the eldest sisters are married off, the younger ones bond together to avoid the same fate. The fierce love between them empowers them to rebel and chase a future where they can determine their own lives in Deniz Gamze Ergüven's debut, a powerful portrait of female empowerment.

MOVIE REVIEW

Don’t go in the water. Don’t go near those boys. Because if you do, your grandma will lock you up in your house, force you to wear “shit-colored” dresses and marry you off one by one. Your grandma wouldn’t do that? The grandma in Mustang, an engaging Turkish drama about modern youth trapped by tradition, will and does, and the consequences are dire.
