Ay Lav Yu is a 2010 Turkish comedy film, written and directed by Sermiyan Midyat, about a young man who having completed his education returns to his home village along with his American bride-to-be.

Years ago, Yusuf abandoned his son, İbrahim, in the courtyard of a university so that he could get a good education and become an important man.

Tinne, a village abandoned to its own destiny in the middle of Mesopotamia, in the Southeast of Turkey, has been intentionally or unintentionally 'forgotten' by the government for years.

Ibrahim, while studying fishery engineering at the University of Çukurova, met Jessica who worked as an interpreter in America's military base in Incirlik-Adana and he quickly fell in love with her.

For Ibrahim's family, it is a major issue to travel to the United States from Tinne, considering that they don't even have identification cards.

Though the movie sets out to break prejudices, he continues, its primitive jokes play on – and at times perpetuate – these stereotypes about cultural differences, as The four languages spoken in – and boasted about in hype for – the film basically become the backbone of the movie, providing silly jokes about miscommunications.

He recommends the film to, Those who would like to see how a director from Turkey perceives Islamophobia by Americans, but concludes that, in the end, though "Ay Lav Yu" claims to celebrate diversity, it becomes all the more dangerous for making light of it.
