The Raindrop (Turkish: Güle Güle) is a 2000 Turkish comedy-drama film, directed by Zeki Ökten, which chronicles the friendship of five elderly residents of Bozcaada. The film, which went on nationwide general release across Turkey on February 4, 2000 (2000-02-04), won four awards at the 37th Antalya "Golden Orange" International Film Festival, including the Golden Orange for Best Film.
