Mürebbiye

Set against the oppressive atmosphere of occupied Istanbul, 'Mürebbiye' follows a French governess whose beguiling charm infiltrates the domestic sphere of a Turkish household. As she navigates the corridors of the mansion, her subtle manipulations awaken dormant desires in each male inhabitant, from the patriarchal headmaster to the timid servant. The narrative unfurls through a series of intimate encounters, whispered conspiracies, and silent power struggles, revealing how the nanny's foreign allure becomes both a weapon and a shield. Layered with cultural tension, the film interrogates the intersections of colonial influence, gendered agency, and the fragile veneer of propriety, ultimately painting a portrait of seduction as a conduit for both liberation and subjugation.
