Kasia Smutniak's Documentary 'Mustang' Opens in Italian Cinemas on 23 November

The documentary 'Mustang,' directed by Kasia Smutniak, will hit Italian cinemas on 23 November, distributed by Fandango Distribuzione, following its debut at the 21st Festa del Cinema. This film delves into Smutniak's connection to the Himalayan area adjacent to Tibet, starting in 2003 with Pietro Taricone and later featuring her daughter Sophie and their family. Central to the narrative is Kunzom, who returned to her homeland after spending ten years in the U.S., and their commitment to establish a school for local youth. Smutniak characterizes the film as a road movie that captures the community's distinctive view on happiness. The school is evolving, with music that fuses traditional sounds and modern electronics defining the film's essence. The article was penned by Margherita Bordino.
