Acerca de esta película

Abdellah is a young gay man navigating the sexual, racial and political climate of Morocco. Growing up in a large family in a working-class neighborhood, Abdellah is caught between a distant father, an authoritarian mother, an older brother whom he adores and a handful of predatory older men, in a society that denies his homosexuality. As a college student, Abdellah moves to Geneva and while faced with the new possibilities of freedom, he grapples with the loss of his homeland. SALVATION ARMY, the directorial debut for Abdellah Taïa – an acclaimed Moroccan and Arab writer - is adapted from his novel of the same name. Taïa is the first writer of his descent to speak out openly about his homosexuality.

Tell me; what does this movie have to do with The Salvation Army? (but that The Salvation Army does not discriminates, loves, cares and ministers to anyone.) How was The Army's name used without permission.

The Synopsis makes this seem like a good movie, but it was very lacking. I was very disappointed in it.

Absolutely fantastic story, lacks a clear and definite plot but instead seeks to plainly illustrate the story of a life (or a portion of one).
