Tariks Play

Can you choose your gender or behave the way you feel, or do you have to accept what society expects of you? Ayse likes to play soccer with boys, she is in love with another girl and she likes to call herself Tarik instead of Ayse. She has managed to establish herself and achieve her goals, now she has to lead a double life because she comes from conservative circles. When she gets her period, she realizes once again what kind of dilemma she's currently facing.
