CGiii Comment

This documentary records the in-depth testimony of a gay Muslim couple, Ovil and Usman, whose only wish was to share a life together. Since in their home countries it is illegal for gay men to live their lives as they would like to, they had no choice but to escape to the west, following the underground caravan of refugees and immigrants that leads from Asia to Greece. They ended up trapped in the infamous hot spot/refugee camp in Moria - where their “dream paradise” would show its ugliest face. Through their simple while shocking narration, the film tackles multiple issues that give us a broader view of the refugee crisis and the reasons that cause it. The tough living conditions of the refugees in their home countries, the homophobia and general social intolerance of the Muslim communities against anyone who is different from the prevailing religious social model, the lack of human liberties that we take for granted.
