Ukrainian actor-director Arkadii Nepytaliuk's satirical dark comedy invites viewers on a transformative journey that challenges deep-seated stereotypes and beliefs. In the film, a vibrant LGBTIQ+ activist is invited into a small-town home as part of the government's 'Lessons of Tolerance' program, aimed at promoting European integration.


Through heartfelt interactions and shared experiences, the activist works his magic, gradually dismantling their prejudices. Along the way, he helps each family member shed their insecurities, rediscover their long-lost freedom, and reignite emotions they thought were lost forever.
