A harrowing portrait of a gay teenager's isolation and spiritual persecution in a conservative Romanian village, where violence and family rejection fracture his world.

Adi, a gay teenager, is spending the summer in his home village in the Danube Delta. One night he is brutally attacked on the street, the next day his world is turned upside-down. His parents no longer look at him as they did, and the seeming tranquility of the village starts to crack.
