This is a pretty good film, especially if you're even remotely interested in what (farmer) life is like in Bulgaria. It's a country where poverty is rampant. Where the state is corrupt. Where people have to work hard for a modest existence. Where homosexuality is forbidden and where Roma people are discriminated against. Around this, a relationship develops between two young men. All of this is beautifully portrayed. Definitely worth seeing, even if you're not into glitter and glamour.
