Wo willst du hin, Habibi? / Where Are You Going, Habibi? (2015)

Director: Tor Iben

Stars: Cem Alkan, Martin Walde, Tuncay Gary...

Ibrahim falls in love with Alexander, a blond, blue eyed German criminal and show wrestler who is straight - an impossible friendship that surpasses the both of them.

I love this movie, one of my favourites. I need more rom-com gay movies in my life :D The character and story progression I think was done nicely. I know some people dislike the gay-for-you theme in general (where an otherwise straight guy falls for a gay one), claiming it to be unrealistic and even insulting/homophobic from a certain point of view, but I’m not one of them. A little fantasy here and there can’t harm you, I say, as long as you realize it’s just a fantasy (as most rom-coms are anyway, regardless of the characters’ sexuality). :-) It was entertaining to watch, has a really sweet love story and a happy ending. What more could you possibly want?

Rating: 5/5

Orpheus’ Song (2019)

Director: Tor Iben

Stars: Sascha Weingarten, Julien Lickert, Henry Morales...

Two best friends from Berlin win a trip to Greece. On their excursion, they get lost on an island. They spend the night together in a cave and dream a mystical dream. On the next day, nothing between the two will be like it was before.

This movie was just perfect for me. It has everything that I look for in a movie - it’s light, funny, cute, positive, has a happy ending. I also appreciate the Greek mythology elements that were incorporated. At first I thought the movie was going to be some heavy drama, but I was positively surprised it turned out to be a cute fairy tale-like movie.
