O.H.A: In Search of Oflu Hodja

Ali Baltaoglu, a construction magnate with high-fying ambitions and deep ties with the government who dreams of carrying Europe’s Alps to the Black Sea in a Dubai-like metropolitan city concept, sponsors three guys -who are not even in the flm business- to flm a documentary about the urban legends of Turkey’s Black Sea region. Ali Baltaoglu plans to use the documentary as a covert advertisement and propaganda tool for the beneft of his mountain city project 'Kackar MegaMount 2023' which was planned to be built within Kackar Mountains National Park. Joined by a reticent driver who cannot drive, they set out to locate the legendary Swearing Ofu Hodja, a saintly and foul-mouthed imam with supernatural powers who works miracles, supports nuclear fusion, and condemns all kinds of authority. The team tumbles through a series of misadventures brought on them by the mysterious hodja, changing their lives forever in this war between matter and meaning.

Directed by Levent Soyarslan, O.H.A: In Search of Oflu Hodja leans on a strong ensemble — Yaşar Kalyoncu, Taies Farzan, Adem Yılmaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2014.
