Our Hodja

The story centers on a village that finds itself without an official imam and decides to appoint Bizum Hoca, a beloved local villager, to fill the role. Although he lacks formal credentials, the villagers respect him and view him as a catalyst for change. As he takes on this responsibility, he aims to address some of the villagers' negative habits.

Alongside this personal journey, the film tackles a pressing community issue—the construction of a hydroelectric power plant near the village. This controversial project sparks intense debates among the villagers, leading to protests. Bizum Hoca inadvertently becomes a leader in this fight against the development, rallying the villagers to protect their home and traditions.

As part of the Bizum Hoca Koleksiyonu collection, Our Hodja offers a unique perspective on rural life and the challenges communities face in modern times. Its comedic approach to serious topics provides both humor and thought-provoking commentary on societal norms and environmental issues.
