Gergo and Lénárd are a young gay couple with a big dream – to write, direct and star in a musical film based on their lives. But dreams and reality don’t go together. They live in a remote Roma community in the poorest region of Hungary, in a very religious environment where being gay is considered a mortal sin. The two decide to move to Budapest in order to realize their cinematic dream.
The couple soon discovers that life in the big city isn’t easy either – they have to work backbreaking jobs while dealing with the rise of LGBTQphobia in Hungary. For the first time in their lives they visit a Pride Parade and demonstrations. While Gergo attempts to start a singing career, the two give an interview to the local press and become local celebrities. But only meetings with a screenwriting student give them hope for the future. Following the sudden death of Gergo’s mother they will have to go back to the community they’ve left behind and to the family who turned their backs on them for one final closure.
Director Kata Oláh created an intimate documentary about a hopeful couple with big dreams in a very difficult country.
