On the outskirts of Budapest, in the heart of the woods, hides a ramshackle little hut. Inside, two social outcasts have formed the unlikeliest of bonds. Fanni, a 19-year-old transgender teenager, and Laci, a 60-year-old homeless man support each other, through hardship and change, in a makeshift family as father and daughter. Set on the margins of Hungarian society life might be tough, but it is theirs. Let your conventions be challenged on a captivating journey in this coming-of-age documentary about home, family and acceptance.
