For more than a year the documentary filmmaker Zuza Piussi followed the fates of several Slovak homosexuals. In an evident effort to understand the film’s protagonists and communicate to the viewer primarily how they themselves see their role in society the film presents their everyday lives in invisible and heated conflicts with their environment. The relationship of the Slovak majority population to people with a different sexual orientation is strongly influenced by the Catholic Church, whose position of disapproval of homosexuality is also taken up by political parties and some parts of the media.
