"I didn't come here for secret sex".
Cibrail (Sinan Hancili) is a Turkish policeman living in Berlin with his girlfriend. He has generally been somewhat repulsed by homosexuals, BUT underneath it all he hides an attraction to men that has obviously never been explored. Not until Marco (Engin Sert) arrives anyway. Marco is his girlfriends cousin who comes for a visit from Rome. There is an instant attraction for Cibrail who begins trying to deal with his inner feelings.
Marco on the other hand doesn't seem attracted in return but perhaps is supposed to be. Not until Cibrail is jogging through a public park and sees Marco receiving anonymous oral sex from another man, does he learn that there might be some promise here for exploring his sexuality with a man he actually sorta knows.
I did not hate this film, however it's really not at all the best choice one can make here. There is a lot of downers on this indie. For starters, the actors portrayed their characters well, but they lack the "feel" for...
Subtle & Understated
Not a whole lot exciting happens in this movie except that the title character comes to terms with his true sexuality. It is well acted with nuance rather than bombast which is refreshing. The nudity at the beginning of the film comes across as gratuitous to me, but otherwise it is very good.
Natural attraction
Wow! What a realistic, natural, highly sensual drama of two men finding they are attracted together. The film is set in Berlin and involves a visitor, a handsome masculine gay man unleashing a latent homosexual undercurrent in an otherwise straight, stoic man. There is awkwardness initially, the barriers are broken down and then the mutual passion and raw sexuality unleashed. Quite a few twists and turns, ecstacies, loss of love and untamable mutual love and hot passion!! This is a gem in the new genre of untypical gay/male-male love stories set within the milleau of a rich cosmopolitan, modern city.
