After a Serbian tabloid attacked the production for making the film with a potential queer subject, the two young actors start exploring the topic of representation of LGBTIQ characters through the history of Yugoslav and later Serbian cinema, but also the social circumstances that have resulted in different treatment of these characters. What did the presence of queers in cinema actually mean through the decades?
