Pelesenk Ailesi

What it’s about

Şenol runs a small electrical shop in Istanbul with his son Sertaç, despite knowing little about the trade. His daughter Gizem has just finished at the top of her class and is sending applications to companies. When an email arrives from a firm in Izmir inviting her to an interview, she cannot secure a ticket to get there. Şenol announces he will drive the family himself, turning the trip into a family outing. They set off, but the journey quickly becomes a series of unexpected comical incidents.

What hooks you

Hasan Doğan directs, with Almila Ada, Suat Sungur, and Ali Rıza Tanyeli in the cast. The setup of a father who knows nothing about his own business leading his family across the country promises a steady stream of humorous situations.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like warm family comedies where ordinary people find themselves in absurd situations, and to viewers who enjoy road-trip humor with a Turkish flavor.
