Synopsis
The wish to share his complicated story with the world led to gay Roma activist David writing a screenplay about his life. His standing as an activist in the homophobic Roma community is jeopardised by his coming-out.
This distinctive narrative offers an insight into a threefold discrimination: of Roma people, of homosexuals and of Roma homosexuals by their own community.
