Five sisters all about to get married off in the traditional Turkish way.

Orphaned, they live with their uncle whose desire to get rid of them is palpable.

There are many sweet moments in

Mustang (2016)

I teared at the end and during.

The traditional marriage customs leave no room for choice. Families, mostly the fathers, decide.

These kids are right on the cusp of radical change. Without being radical.

I loved this movie and would be willing to see it again just to catch the banter and interplay between the young women.

In actual fact, the grooms chosen for three of them ain't bad either. But that is not the point.
