CGiii Comment
On August 7, 2020, a solidarity demonstration was held in Warsaw in defense of Margot, an LGBT activist arrested in connection with the destruction of a homophobic truck that has been circulating on the streets of Polish cities since 2018. There were then high-profile, show arrests, as a result of which 48 participants of the protest were arrested. Among them are the main characters of the film - Kajetan, Kamila, Krem and Julia and her partner. Their stories make it possible to understand and feel the price for homophobia and power transphobia is paid by the non-heteronormative part of Polish society. And also - what was the situation of the LGBT rights movement?
