A goofy-sincere romcom with an indie edge, GÜLE-GÜLE follows two beautiful people, seemingly strangers, who can’t escape their incredibly annoying partners during a Korean group tour of historic Turkey.

Travel is supposed to be a respite from everyday life, but these two find themselves stuck with the parts of home they most want to escape.
