Mustang is a 2015 Turkish-language film co-written and directed by Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s in her feature debut. Set at an unspecified time in the 2010s in a remote Turkish village, Mustang depicts the lives of five young orphaned sisters and the challenges they face growing up as girls in a conservative society.
