Label Me

Power is a currency, and Waseem, a Syrian gay-for-pay hustler seeking asylum in Cologne, wields it as a shield. He keeps his clients at an emotional arm’s length while fulfilling their deepest carnal desires to survive, until he meets Lars—a kind, affluent professional whose growing interest in Waseem unsettles their dynamic. This gripping exploration of transactional identity examines how trust and intimacy are negotiated within a partnership and highlights the divides between immigrants and their host societies in contemporary Europe.
