To top it all, Vassilis discovers his attraction to boys.Life in a rural town for a young LGBT person is not easy, and he has to battle against prejudice and hate.

Joining a student political party, he meets his two best friends, living an out and proud life. It's here that Vassilis finds love and lust, growing more confident about himself, up until a hate crime devastates his life.
