OAIA NEAGRĂ

DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM

A queer filmmaker travels to remote Transylvania and falls for a single parent who must hide his gender identity from his religious community. Their relationship evolves behind closed doors, but local gossip and a revealing video put them at risk.

This film was realised with the support of St. Joost School of Art and Design, and the Chassé Cultuurfonds Film Incentive.
