“People told me he was too radical. Too exaggerated. That he wasn´t open to talking and discussion. What people didn´t know is that he was hungry to live. He only had this one life and he had the right to be happy. Unfortunately, the hatred he hated so much won.”
After the death of her best friend, a victim of homophobia, a young girl tries to understand what happened. What could she have done? One thought won’t leave her: It could be me; it could be you.
Rated: 15
