Description

Bujar's world is collapsing. His father is dying and his homeland, Albania, bristles with hunger and unrest. Desperate for a chance to shape their own lives, he flees with his friend Agim, who has been beaten by the authorities. This journey across cities, borders, and identities takes them from the streets of Tirana to the monuments of Rome and the drag bars of New York. As they search for acceptance and love, they risk losing themselves in the struggle to leave their pasts behind. Pursued by memories of home and echoes of folk tales, they must navigate shifting gender and social personae. Their precarious means of escape and survival are threatened at every turn, leaving them with little chance of forging a new life. Their story is one of marginalization, struggle, and the human desire for connection in a world that often seems hostile to their very existence.
