With this challenging and compelling story Ataman has successfully combined a family tragedy, suspense and humour in one film.

"Kutlug Ataman's highly-charged thriller takes us into the shadowy world of Berlin's gay Turkish emigres, who live lives of double jeopardy, from extreme homophobia within their own ethnic culture and from lethal German xenophobes who may also be homophobes. The pivotal figure is 17-year-old Murat, who is struggling with his own homosexuality when he meets the disowned older gay brother he never knew he had - a popular female impersonator known as Lola. This compelling film is at once a family tragedy and a work of remorseless suspense not without humour" Los Angeles Times
