Ascension (Miraç) (translated)

Miraç (Ascension) is a Turkish family film released on April 21, 2017, that approaches a religious theme through the eyes of children. Running about 89 minutes, it combines drama and comedy with adventure and sets out to show the Prophet Muhammad's ascension, the Miraç, from the children's world and their innocent point of view. Enes Hakan Tokyay and Nurten Erdemir share the directing, and Yasin Öksüz wrote the screenplay.

At the heart of the story are two young friends, Yusuf and Ali. Having lost their friend Ahmet, they believe he is in heaven and do everything they can to make their voices reach him. They ask the villagers how to climb to the seventh layer of the sky, a quest that turns the village upside down and sends the pair from one adventure to the next. Arda Şahin plays Yusuf and Emircan Çal plays Ali. In the adult cast, Meltem Miraloğlu plays Nuran and Ufuk Bayraktar plays Rıfat.

Before its release the film had a press screening and three trailers along with several teasers.
