Prepare to fall head over heels for Gergo and Lénárd, an adorable young couple who are proud to fly the pride flag even though it makes life difficult for them in their Romani community, a subculture that already positions them as outsiders in Hungary, a country with an antagonistically anti-LGBTIQA+ government. No barrier will ground their sky-high dreams of creating a smash hit musical based on their big-hearted romance. Packing up their lives, leaving their village behind and heading for the bright lights of Budapest, they promptly locate a student filmmaker to be their dramaturg, with Gergo promising, ‘‘Funky music, lots of dancing with a pinch of racism.” Delivering all that and more, director Kata Oláh’s abundantly generous documentation of their journey is a joyous ode to believing in yourself and your loved ones.
