[1] Seventeen-year-old Murat, from Turkey but living in Berlin, Germany with his mother and older brother Osman, seems to be struggling with his sexuality while Osman, head of the household since the father's death and a taxi driver, strongly urges Murat to lose his virginity to a woman.

Upon his return home, Murat discovers that Osman was, in fact, the one who murdered Lola.

Iskender, a friend of Lola and Billy who is also Turkish, meets a rich German man, Friedrich, for oral intercourse in a park.

Lola and Billy the Kid was also one of five films which won the Jury Award at the 1999 Berlin Festival in recognition of the exceptional quality and diversity of gay and lesbian German films in that year's Berlinale.

Written and directed by Kutlug Ataman and produced by Martin Hagemann, this film was released by Picture This Entertainment in both Turkish and German and included English subtitles.

Since its original release in Germany in 1999, the film has been rereleased in approximately ten other countries including the United States, Turkey, France and Italy.
