The film narrates the astoundingly real tale of Amin Nawabi, a man who struggles with a painful secret he has concealed for twenty years. It depicts Amin’s refugee journey from Afghanistan to Denmark. Amin arrived in Copenhagen by himself, having escaped Afghanistan during the First Afghan Civil War in the 1980s and 1990s as the Mujahideen gained strength. The documentary explores Amin’s close relationship with his family and his battle to reconcile his sexuality with his strict cultural upbringing.
