The Turkish army considers homosexuality a mental disorder which exonerates young men from military service, but also requires a medical diagnosis to be reached through both psychological and more invasive (and humiliating) diagnostic procedures. This film tells the heartfelt stories of several gay men, who have made entirely different choices about military service. Due to a lack of freedom of speech, the young men are forced to hide their faces while exposing one of Turkey’s biggest taboos. (Description courtesy of the filmmaker.)
