I Love You (Ay Lav Yu) (translated)

Ay Lav Yu is a 2010 Turkish comedy film written and directed by Sermiyan Midyat and produced by Plato Film, which went on nationwide release in Turkey on 12 March 2010. The film laid claim to several firsts for Turkish cinema: the first movie to combine Turkish, Kurdish, Syriac and English dialogue, the first to depict the blend of different religions in eastern Turkey, and the first comedy with an international ensemble to address the 9/11 attacks.

The story follows a young man who, after completing his education, returns to his home village with his American bride-to-be; the meeting of two families and two cultures unfolds into humorous misunderstandings, with the events taking place in 2001. Shot in the Hasankeyf and İzbırak areas, the film features Steve Guttenberg, known as Mahoney from the Police Academy films, alongside Mariel Hemingway, Meray Ülgen, Cengiz Bozkurt and Nihal Yalçın.
