The Bottom Line Little Sister is brother's keeper.…The screenplay, by the directors, keeps coming back to the idea of women being forced to define themselves in relationship to others while men are allowed and even encouraged just to be themselves.

When the pilot Marion meets the Kurdish male prostitute Baran in Turkey, a chemistry develops between the two. Because Baran wants to escape his miserable circumstances, he persuades Marion to take him to Germany with him. Marion, who is in the midst of a life and meaning crisis and has to digest a cancer diagnosis, makes a future in Europe possible for him through a sham marriage. However, the “deal” that the two make does not last long.
