Limonata is a 2015 Turkish comedy film directed by Ali Atay.[1] Part of this story takes place as a road movie from Bulgaria to Istanbul and back. This is the story of how two brothers who are initially strangers come to know one another.

Middle-aged Sakip goes in search of his half-brother Selim, whom he hadn't known existed until Sakip's father, Suat, at his death bed, asks Sakip to go and get him. He drives from Macedonia to Istanbul, then after many adventures searching for Selim, eventually succeeds in finding him.
