Description

Bujar's world is collapsing. His father is dying and his homeland, Albania, bristles with hunger and unrest. When his fearless friend Agim is discovered wearing his mother's red dress and beaten with his father's belt, he persuades Bujar that there is no place for them in their country. Desperate for a chance to shape their own lives, they flee, embarking on a journey across cities, borders, and identities. This search takes them from the bazaars of one city to the monuments of another, and into the drag bars of New York. Along the way, they must confront shifting gender and social personae, seeking permission to leave their pasts behind in pursuit of acceptance and love. Their story is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the search for a place to call home.
