Enlivened by its sheer cultural diversity (or schizophrenia, if you will) and unexpected humor. Go to Full Review

11/07/2010 I think that the Turkish experience in Germany has really added to that country's film culture and this is another fine addition. See more 05/26/2009 Like [Head On], tragic stories about social outcast- Turks immigrants in Germany, homosexual, transvestites, hustler. It surely looked stereotyped & cheesy sometimes but sorta neat & decent overall. See more 03/21/2009 it show me how to do pace whit out war See more 05/12/2008 I wish sometimes that gay films would just be a bout a story, no need for messages to be disseminated just good old story. The Str8's have done it for years, and it's worked so far. I love this movie, for being just that a story. The msg is about love, respect understanding and faith. Too bad i took so long to watch this.. Kudos. See more 03/14/2008 stagey, earnest and full of Berlin. Indie queer cinema at its best. See more 02/05/2008 NOT FOR ME... Maybe other people will find this move a work of art or something like that, but for me, it was no more than a Turkish soap opera but in German. The plot was okay, but the whole development throughout the movie does not have the effect intended and at times it makes it look like a cartoon full of clichés and stereotypes. The macho older brother who is secretly gay, the gay brother who is openly gay, the meek and submissive younger brother. I do have to say, at least the idea of having 3 sons, all of them gay, was original. As for the rest, not a movie I would recommend at all. See more Read all reviews
