It was directed by Angelina Maccarone and stars Jasmin Tabatabai, Anneke Kim Sarnau, and Navíd Akhavan.

Thinking like "we are good, they are evil" has existed for a long time and justified a lot of horrible things people do to each other.

"[1] Maccarone has also described her desire to use the film to act as a commentary on the discrimination that queer people face.

Picturing how homosexuals often have to defend their identities in ways that heterosexuals do not, the film acts as an insight in how majorities define what is "normal."

The translator Fariba Tabrizi (29, played by Jasmin Tabatabai) is at risk of the death penalty in her own country, Iran, after the vice squad discovers she is homosexual.

Her poor prospects are improved by the suicide of a fellow-inmate from Iran as she assumes his identity and, as Siamak Mustafai, and using his temporary permit of sojourn, is re-located to Swabia.

Fariba knows Germany only from literature and as a translator which leave her unprepared for the small town of Sielmingen compared to a large city like Teheran.

Also, her security is threatened as, in the refugee home, she is obliged to uphold her male disguise in cramped quarters while she is not permitted to leave the Regional District of Esslingen.

He obtains an illegal, seasonal job for her in a sauerkraut processing factory alongside the closeknit local workers.

Under other circumstances Fariba would have been only too glad to respond to Anne's advances, but is afraid on account of the Siamak facade.
