Yılmaz Erdoğan’s newest film, “Kelebeğin Rüyası” (Dream of a Butterfly), starring Kıvanç Tatlıtug, Belçim Bilgin and Mert Fırat will be released on Feb. 22.

The movie tells the story of two poets who died very young from tuberculosis, Rüştü Onur and Muzaffer Tayyip Uslu. The film will be presented to European and Middle Eastern audiences at the same time.
The movie reflects the life and love of the two poets who lived during World War II in Turkey. Famous Turkish stars such as Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ, Belçim Bilgin, Mert Fırat, Zeynep Farah Abdullah and Erdoğan appear in the movie.

The movie also features Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan, Taner Birsel, Devrim Yakut, İpek Bilgin, Aksel Bonfil and Servet Pandur.

Onur (Fırat) and Uslu (Tatlıtuğ), both unknown poets, live in Zonguldak and dream of brilliant futures. Neither is able to fulfill his destiny as they succumb to the disease at a very early age.
