Lemonade (Limonata) (translated)
Actor Ali Atay directed his first film, Limonata (Lemonade), a Turkish comedy-drama, co-writing the script with lead actor Ertan Saban. It opened in cinemas on 24 April 2015, distributed by Mars Entertainment Group. A road movie shuttling between Macedonia and Istanbul, it tells how two brothers who begin as strangers come to know one another. One critic called it refreshing and mischievous but sad once it ends, noting Atay's roots in Onur Ünlü's films.
Suat, a retired long-haul truck driver living in Macedonia, is bedridden with a terminal illness. He calls his son Sakip (Ertan Saban) and states his last wish: years ago he married a woman in Istanbul in a religious ceremony and had a son named Selim, but left while the boy was still a baby. Before he dies, Suat wants to find that son and ask his forgiveness. Sakip sets off for Istanbul in his father's worn-out car, with only Selim's name and an old address. Serkan Keskin plays Selim and Zekir Sipahi plays Suat. Funda Eryiğit (Nihal), Luran Ahmeti (Fuat) and Bedia Begovska are also in the cast.
Adal Yapım produced it, with Ahmet Sesigürgil as cinematographer and music credited to Okan Kaya, Ahmet Kenan Bilgiç, Taner Yücel and Gevende.
