Two of us

In 2001, eleven years after the Revolution, homosexuality was finally removed from the Romanian
Criminal Code. During these twenty years of democracy, this subject was seldom touched upon by the media. Nowadays, the only time that the LGBT community “enjoys” the spotlight is during the annual gay parade. However, instead of drawing attention to the all too real problems that gay people are confronted with, the media portrays the event as a “freak show” organized by a community of perverts. Over 55% of Romania’s population thinks that sexual minorities should seek medical help for their “ailment,” while over 57% feels uncomfortable and tries to avoid being in the presence of a gay person... It’s no wonder, therefore, that the day-to-day life of a gay couple is an absolute mystery to the Romanian public. This documentary attempts to open a window, past prejudice and intolerance,
into the lives of Cristi and George, two young men whose only “crime” is that they are deeply in love.
