Empire of the Rabbits

Directed by Seyfettin Tokmak

With Alpay Kaya, Sermet Yeşil, Kubilay Tunçer, Perla Palamutçuoğulları and Emrullah Çakay

Musa lives with his father, Beko, in rural Turkey. Beko, struggling to make ends meet by assisting in rabbit-hound races, is lured by the promise of a government disability pension for Musa if he can prove his son's “disability” with a medical report. To pass as disabled, Musa must learn to mimic the mannerisms of people with physical disabilities from Nergis, a girl his age. Together, the two children form an enduring friendship as they navigate their plight.
