Synopsis

What happens when your child comes out to you? In this feature documentary, parents of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender individuals in Turkey intimately share their experiences with the viewer, as they redefine what it means to be parents in this conservative society.

MUBI's take

Directly facing the camera, Turkish parents of LGBTQ+ individuals are not only pouring their hearts out to viewers but also addressing those still harboring prejudiced views. Beautifully lifted by unconditional familial love, this powerful call for acceptance underlines the cruciality of community.
