A documentary performance about coming out. Love becomes a matter of life and death, and within one’s own family you are forced to live undercover, like a spy. Yet you still want to live honestly and find happiness in love. What price must be paid for this? A documentary play exploring the lives, love, and search for truth of modern Russian gay men.
