Gay, persecuted, fled

Synopsis:

Ibrahim fled Beirut due to his sexual orientation and arrived in Cologne (Germany) after a long and arduous journey a few weeks ago. He is homosexual and his life became like hell in Lebanon. He has applied for asylum and is waiting for his residence permit. Overwhelmed by the many new impressions in Cologne, he quickly found his way into the LGTBI scene (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) via social media, where he is gradually integrating himself. Finally, he can live out his sexual sensation openly and without fear. He was admitted to a shared flat via "Flüchtlinge Willkommen" (Refugees Welcome), wants to learn everything about German culture and teaches himself German through a smartphone app.
