This film is about "Beyto" a young swimmer whose family has immigrated to Switzerland from Turkey. A hard working computer science student and a professional swimmer, Beyto is the quintessential"perfect" son any parent would want. But as always, perfect sons are more often than not ....? You are right - gay. And his parents are as orthodox as they come, for they don't want to benefit the country they migrated to. They are loyal to their own country even though they have left it to enjoy greener pastures. And you can only imagine the fate of Beyto. The fact that they trick their own prodigal son after knowing that he is gay is proof enough of the deep dense prejudice and homophobia. Like a pig for slaughter, Beyto becomes a victim of a dupe planned by his own parents.
What follows is gut wrenching, heart wrenching and edgy as we witness acute hatred for gays in the Arabic world. Burak Ates will not only make you mad with desire but will make you fall in love with Beyto as he gives a controlled and complete performance.
The film has a unique and satisfying ending that will surely appease the audience.
