Liuben

Victor (27) has a nice life in Madrid with his partner, Jose. He returns to his childhood home in Bulgaria for his grandfather’s funeral and decides to stay for the summer. While reconnecting with his father and the slow-paced village way of life, he unexpectedly finds love in the form of Liuben, an 18-year-old Roma boy, who gets by selling fruit along the side of the road. Despite their differences and the conflicts around them, Victor and Liuben find refuge in each other. One of the few LGBT films from Bulgaria, Liuben is a filmmaking triumph.
