is a medium-length German drama directed by Kai Kreuser that delves into the intersection of the refugee experience, masculinity, and repressed queer identity. The film centers on Waseem, a Syrian refugee in Cologne who engages in survival sex work, and Lars, an affluent German who becomes a regular client. Themes and Analysis
: Waseem’s struggle is deeply rooted in the "non-acceptance of the self," common in patriarchal societies where men are often ashamed of emotional or sexual attraction toward other men. This isolation is compounded by the "refugee crisis," as he performs a specific sexual identity in a foreign land while fearing repercussions from his own community. Label Me (2019)
