Sex is power, and Waseem, a Syrian gay-for-pay hustler seeking asylum in Cologne, wields it like a shield. Keeping his johns at an emotional arm’s length while satisfying their most carnal desires in order to eke out a living, he meets his match in Lars: a kind, affluent professional with a growing personal interest in Waseem. This gripping tale of transactional identity explores the tactical exchange of trust and intimacy in a partnership, and the divisions between immigrants and their host countries in contemporary Europe.

Label Me is the story of two men who couldn't be more different, yet somehow found their way to each other. While the film has a strong theme and more than one raw scene, it didn't get under my skin as much as I would have expected, which is a shame. But I was satisfied with the conclusion.
