Performance of all the main characters is quite good and deliver the emotional depth of their roles. The movie reflects a truthful depiction of gay life - hidden and closeted - in Morroco which can be true of any of the middle eastern countries. The storyline develops rather slowly and revolves around the three main characters of Halim the tailor his wife mina and Youssef the new apprentice who becomes the new amour of his moalem - tailor cum teacher - early on. There are a few instances of gay sex in hamam but does not reveal the actual sex scene only when both men walk into a shower stand. The film focuses more on the challenges and taboos which gay men face and the emotions which is rather refreshing. Overall it's worth watching and I rather enjoyed it.
