The Dove Flew Away (Güvercin Uçuverdi) (translated)

Güvercin Uçuverdi ("The Dove Flew Away") is an 89-minute Turkish comedy that opened in theaters on March 27, 2015. Directed and written by Selami Genli and Onur Koçal, it takes its name from a famous Central Anatolian folk dance tune. Its main selling point is the aim of making audiences laugh without resorting to profanity.

The story centers on Yüksel, a man consumed by the dream of becoming a pilot who has only managed to earn the nickname "captain" as a municipal bus driver. He has also convinced his blind mother that he became a pilot, and he never lets go of the dream, pursuing it at every opportunity. It is both his biggest wish and one of his best hopes of winning the woman he loves.

The lead is Atalay Demirci, the winner of the talent competition Yetenek Sizsiniz. He is joined by Gökhan Yıkılkan, Tuvana Türkay and Gökçe Özyol, along with familiar names such as Salih Kalyon, Ayşen Gruda, Zerrin Sümer and Ali Erkazan.
