Turkey) Wild Horses: They are 5 sisters, each of them is as beautiful as a princess, the eldest sister is married to her lover, the second sister is married to a boy she doesn’t like, the third sister was forced to commit suicide due to depression, and finally Lalei took the four Sister, took advantage of the night to escape the nightmare.

Uncles and grandmothers took care of them. Teacher Lalei left for Istanbul. They went to the beach with boys with sadness. The adults seemed so embarrassed, when they got home, grandma started to blame and punish them. Uncle came home, furious like an angry red bull. The virginity check in the hospital... The eldest sister is very fortunate to be married to the person she loves. On the second day of the same room, the boy's parents knock on the door and need to take away the white sheets that prove the daughter-in-law's chastity...

The girl was screaming and fighting in her heart, but they were the only ones left to fight in this world, and this kind of battle was powerless for many years, just like a hen being fattened in a cage being taken out at any time for blood and meat.

    The themes of gender politics and rebellion against patriarchy are nourished by the director's childhood memories and female experiences, and the fate of the five sisters is like a female ukiyo-e in the eyes of scattered perspective (slightly biased towards the younger sister). The film is full of contrasts in space, modeling and even power relations. It seems that the female resistance who has failed for thousands of years and then rose up has to be pushed to a climax in the structure of binary opposition to appear vigorous.

    What a great movie! In a small town in northern Turkey on the shore of the Black Sea, five beautiful young girls in full bloom against ignorance, youth is overflowing with infinite beauty #Istanbul night in the Bosphorus Bridge and the girls are beautiful unspeakable# I thought of my report from the Great Heaven. "Tumor" will compete in the best foreign language film award. "Wild Horse" is so sour and cool #露多大脸现多大眼#
