English

Kurd Iranian, refugie politics in France I go back to see my family in the Iraqi Kurdistan. I present Kojin a young friend 23-year-old homosexual at my family  arised from the middle class and very devout. It is the opportunity to confront points of view and to do a portrait of this society where homosexuality  seems not to exist.
