Mahmoud is a refugee living in Germany who comes to Istanbul to organize in the Mr Gay Syria competition. Husein is a Syrian refugee who makes a living as a barber in Istanbul and lives a double life: six days a week he's openly gay at work, but on Sunday he returns home not only to his devout parents, but to his wife and daughter as well. He enters the competition with a single goal in mind – to win and earn a passport, a visa and passage to Europe, where he can create a life without fear for himself, his family, and most of all his daughter. The refugee crisis has changed many people's lives, bringing with it fears and problems that are new to the world, and above all Europe. It's a topic that has been treated from all sorts of angles – but the lives of queer refugees remains a taboo.
