Producer: Martina Knoblochová

This partially scripted documentary focuses on Roma homosexuality. The hero is a Roma activist whose friends know about his homosexuality and accept it. However, his boyfriend he met over the Internet comes from a very traditional Roma family outside of Prague and his situation is very different. The director used an autobiographical script to document the position of homosexuals in Roma communities and their discrimination in an original way.

Director Rozálie Kohoutová and producer Martina Knoblochová developed their documentary project Kytlice, Zimmer Frei at the 2009 Ex Oriente Film.
