Label Me

Directed by Kai Kreuser

Waseem, a refugee, confronts internalized homophobia and violence when he meets Lars, leading to a hopeful exploration of identity and possibility.
Label Me is a restrained German drama about a Syrian refugee who begins a transactional relationship with a German man, only for money, masculinity and attraction to become increasingly difficult to separate. Kai Kreuser handles the power imbalance thoughtfully, and the central performances create real tension.
