Turkey on Friday chose the film 'The Wild Pear Tree' to be submitted in the 'Best foreign language' category for the 91st Academy Awards, set to be held next year.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the storyline of the movie revolves around a young writer, who struggles to accumulate money to publish his novel.

The film, which premiered at Cannes earlier this year, is the Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's first official submission at the Oscars. The director is well known for winning Palme d'Or for his film 'Winter Sleep' in 2014, and the 'best director prize' at Cannes for 'Three Monkeys' in 2008.

'The Wild Pear Tree' is an international co-production.
