Brief synopsis

Two Syrian brothers are caught in a constant struggle between their own transsexual identity and different cultures: Finally, living out freely in Germany and – at the same time – having feelings of sin in the face of their Muslim environment. The feature documentary IM STÄDTLE immerses into the world of these two brothers, who feel they were born in a wrong body. Their story brings us close to a special family hanging together despite all existing conflicts.

(Berlin Talents)
