A very touching portrayal of a hidden world

Male prostitution is rarely portrayed, to portray it in a culture where there is also a big taboo on homosexuality is even rarer. A young boy is torn between three worlds: His traditional Maroccan family, the harsh world of prositution and the illusion of love with a friendly customer. He is forced to keep working and to keep paying-up by his pimp, who mercilessly blackmails him and other boys. The story feels real and the acting is very convincing. Especially the main character, couragiously and movingly played by Akram Tanna, needs to be mentioned. But for all the actors of Maroccan descent this is a couragious undertaking, dealing with this subject in a culture of shame.
