Safe and Sound (Sağ Salim) (translated)
Ersoy Güler both directed and produced Sağ Salim, a Turkish road comedy released on May 18, 2012. It tells of the chaos that follows when a naive Anatolian villager, terrified of death and the dead, is forced to transport a corpse. The film runs about 98 minutes and later led to a sequel, Sağ Salim 2: Sil Baştan.
Burçin Bildik plays the hero, Salim, who scrapes a living hauling goods from his village to town in a battered pickup painted Fenerbahçe canary yellow. After a nightmare one morning, the village headman asks him to carry a body from Mersin to Sivas, and though reluctant Salim cannot refuse. The body comes from Değirmendere village in Silifke. A crate-like coffin is loaded onto the pickup and the comic journey begins. When the lid pops open on the road, Salim freezes, and Recai (Alper Saldıran) helps him. Fulya Zenginer, Oğuzhan Uğur and Nazlı Tosunoğlu are also in the cast, and Hüseyin Avni Danyal plays the headman.
Besides Güler, the writing team included Ali Alper Erze, Korhan Uğur and Şeyda Delibaşı. One critic calls it a film that sends viewers into fits of laughter.
