The Ottoman Republic
The film depicts a world in which Atatürk never became leader, the War of Independence never took place, and the Ottoman Republic continues to exist in a form adapted to the present day. The continuation of the Ottoman Republic instead of the Republic of Turkey, Ankara not being the capital, signs and license plates being in both Turkish and Arabic, and the sultan wearing a suit under his caftan are some of the tragicomic situations that make up the film's story.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its alternate history by cleverly subverting foundational national myths, relying on the stark contrast between anachronistic pomp and modern banality. It explores identity and bureaucracy through a lens of sharp, situational comedy.
What lingers after the laughter is a poignant, satirical reflection on the roads not taken by a nation and the weight of symbols. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Gani Müjde
