In a mountain village in Bulgaria, where prejudice is never far away, a summer romance begins between two young men from different worlds. Victor has a settled life in Madrid with his partner, Jose. When he returns to the village of his youth in Bulgaria for the funeral of his grandfather, he decides to stay for the summer.
As he reconnects with his father, and the rural way of life, he finds unexpected love with Liuben, an 18-year old Roma boy. Liuben is the first openly LGBTQ+ movie to come out of Bulgaria.
