Significant remains the ball of emotions after its final credits. Because it is not about homophobia, a puppet leader from a Caucasian Republic and his dictatorship, about persecution of gays , about Russia under Putin. But about few people and their fight almost unrealistic. People like Olga Baranova, David Isteev, Maxim Lapunov , cases, danger, fears are pieces of a large tragedy about near reality. Few cases from many others, the effort to help, the selfishness and arrogance of two political regimes. And the basic human values. The film is not a manifesto, maybe not exactly a testimony. It is only a kick for a form of wake up. Not about LGBTQ+ rights , Pride manifestations or theories of genre but about right to be accepted as yourself, as person. Short, impressive, courageous, high useful.
