Young Hungarian gays explore the personal dramas of elderly gay men who lived in Communist Hungary. The personal experiences uncovered and the secret service files excavated reinterpret the past 50 years from the vantage point of the present-day social and legal context. Our oneand-a-half-hour-long creative, socio-documentary shows – with the help of 7 protagonists’ life stories – what it meant to be a gay man before the political “transition” in Hungary. Has the situation of gay men improved since the fall of communism or homophobia is even worse today?
