CGiii Comment

A very sobering film about sexuality and Islam. Even when the Mosque/State forbids it, it relentlessly persists...within dangerous situations and with even more dangerous consequences.

All this film needed was the twist, it was there - screaming to be shown.

A sad, competent film.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Aadat follows the story of a teenager who dares to hire a male sex worker to explore his sexual orientation in an Islamic state.
