Empire of the Rabbits

Musa and his father, Beko, live in rural Turkey where they face financial hardships. Beko's involvement in rabbit-hound races leads him to seek a government disability pension for Musa. To obtain this, Musa must convincingly mimic the mannerisms of those with physical disabilities, a challenge he faces with the help of Nergis, another child in his community.

The narrative explores the bond formed between Musa and Nergis as they navigate their difficult circumstances together. Their friendship becomes central to the story, highlighting resilience and childhood innocence amid adversity. The film's focus on social issues within a rural context adds depth, making it relevant to discussions about disability and societal expectations.
