Go West

Wed 6 Jun 07

Sparking widespread controversy across Eastern Europe, Go West follows the secret romance of two gay men as they escape the brutal inter-ethnic Yugoslavian wars of the early 90s.

Gay lovers Kenan, a Muslim cellist, and Milan, a Serbian student, flee Bosnia when war breaks out. Dreaming of peace, happiness and acceptance, they travel west and disguise Kenan in drag. But can they keep their secret and protect their love?
