Husein lives as a hairdresser in Istanbul, Mahmoud works as a LGTB activist in Berlin. Both are gay and have fled Syria, but a special dream brings them together: As Muslims, they want to take part in the \u2018Mr. Gay World\u2019 competition for the first time in order to set an international standard for homosexuality in Islam. The result is an impressive story about love and homophobia in the Western and Muslim world. With MR GAY SYRIA, Turkish filmmaker Ayse Toprak has created a highly topical film about the courage, consistency and humour of her protagonists, for which she has been awarded international prizes at over 120 festivals.<\/p>\n<\/div>
