As Berlin adjusts to its role as the new-old capital of Germany, like any big city there are all sorts of lifestyles reflecting ethnic and cultural diversiry. While the Turkish minority's roos go back two generations when they were invited here as guest workers in the 1960s, the population has matured enough to support its own gay hustler and transvestite subculture. It is in this scene that director Kutlug Ataman has set his fourth feature.

Murat (Baki Davrak) is a student curious about gay life. One day he discovers a family secret, that his long lost brother isn't really dead but very much alive and something of a transvestite star in the drag clubs where he is known as 'Lola.' Murat barely gets to know his brother and his hustler lover Bili (Erdal Vildiz) before Lola (Gandi Mukli) is brutally murdered. Murat with the help of his brother's friends, sets out to find the murderer, only to discover he was closer than he thought. Owen Levy
