Line up of shots since we ​can’t finish the storyboard ​tonight:

Light’s go on again in a club ​where Ebow is together with ​the family photographer and a ​girl that she’s clearly into. ​They walk around the dark ​space and Ebow is talking to ​him behind his back. He turns ​around and looks at her ​explaining he’s gay to. A ​camera starts circling around ​them. Other queer friends join.

They set up for a Queer family ​picture. In the last moment ​Ebow snaps her fingers and ​they change their body ​position from ‘QUEER’ to ​‘STRAIGHT-Passing’. The flash ​goes off.

Out and about in the night scene

With my best friend

About to leave

you wanted to tell him, you were just looking for a sign

Suddenly “we are your friends” was playing and that was enough

I thought we could go out for a moment

I need fresh air

Your look was puzzled as you walked around the club

suddenly stopped and just started talking

I hope you don't hate me if I tell you this now

But I like women, I think I'm a lesbian

You stared at me, “Are you really not lying?”

took your hand “look how fast my heart beats”

Quiet

suddenly came back I'm gay too

Boy

Boy wait, you're gay too

what a plot

what a gift from God

Never dreamed, never hoped

That someone like you comes from queer Kurdi Alevite

Check the stress with the family

Thank you for always being there

I hope you know how much I love you

If they don't love me then who will love me?

(My people, my friends, my fam)

How can I love myself if she can't

(My mom, my aunts and Nene)

If they don't love me then who will love me?

(My people, my friends, my fam)

How can I love myself if she can't

(My mom, my aunts and Nene)

At some point you get the hang of it

In Berlin, we gays at home look pretty straight

Ebow is on a motorbike, her hair flying back. ​Behind her a man. He takes off his helmet, ​turns out to be her gay friend from before. She ​sits down by a coffee table. A colorful jenga is ​placed in the middle. Four cool exes of Ebow ​one after another appear at the table at the ​same seat and play jenga with her inserting ​their fingers into the holes left after the ​removed blocks. The table then is empty. ​Ebow throws jenga off the table and lays her ​head down on the table top. Suddenly a cousin ​appears in front of her with a ring she’s ​showing off but Ebow just looks up for a ​second and lays down again. On a close up on ​Ebow the table changes to a coffee table. ​Finally someone knocks on her back. It’s her ​aunt. She sits down in front of her and an ​endearing conversation starts. Ebow gets up ​after they’ve cried and hugged over the table. ​She walks and meets her older self. Together ​they approach the camera.

Light goes off for a moment. It’s all Ebows, ​small, teenage, adult and old. They take a ​picture together. It all goes black. Ebow old ​and her elderly partner are laying on a couch ​and look through old pictures of her in an ​album. They kiss.

I couldn't come out so I moved away

Whenever I asked about a boyfriend, I immediately lied

Man, I had the baddest women (you don't understand)

All of my exes were tough, beautiful and smart

But to introduce them to you

I would never have dared

And time passed

each of my qzengs had a ring

Made a child

and I was off doing my thing

Mom said she is busy rapping and singing

The last thing she thought was that I was a lesbian

And I didn't want to add stress to all of their stress

Until her sister checked something was wrong

Sebahat teyze in Berlin and we are sitting in the cafe

And she asked me directly and I told her

And she hugged me and I just cried

And she just said you're never alone

And we love you and don't you know that we are your family

Being there for each other in highs and lows

Life is too short for this shit

And you know that

No matter who you like, Ebru, you remain you

And because you only have this one life

Nobody can tell you how to live

And please never make yourself small in front of relatives and friends

And please free yourself from all the negative thoughts

And please be sure we are always by your side

Some things take time but don't wait too long

If they don't love me then who will love me?

(My people, my friends, my fam)

How can I love myself if she can't

(My mom, my aunts and Nene)

If you don't love me then who will love me?

(My people, my friends, my fam)

How can I love myself if she can't
