Synopsis

When Delbar's double life is outed to his mother, he flees his Afghan American community and takes refuge with his aunt in Istanbul. There he meets another Afghan, Mansur, who has made his own sacrifices to leave his family in Iran and migrate to Turkey.

At an NGO supporting queer and trans refugees, Delbar and Mansur find comfort in each other and the company of new friends. But Turkish state repression is escalating, and as their pathways to security diverge, the fault lines between them become impossible to ignore.
