Ibrahim, a young German of Turkish descent, leads a double life. He lives with his tradition-bound family, but outside his parent’s apartment, Ibo is a confident gay man working in a sex shop and yearning for Mr Right. When self-described straight, blond, blue-eyed petty wrestler Ali turns up they quickly spark a flirtatious friendship and events draw them closer together, but also threaten to tear them apart.

Director and Iris Prize Alumnus Tor Iben (Das Phallometer 2014) from Germany will introduce the screening.
