This is a wonderful movie. It covers the most important aspects of human beings life and it’s presenting a story which is valid for all of us and not only for gay people.
I didn’t want to read the other’s reviews because I didn’t want to let myself influenced by what they’ve wrote.

STORY/ACTORS: Both main characters have a very sad past, have their own trauma.
Karl lived his dead brother’s life. He was wearing even his name; he inherited his clothes, toys and lived to fulfil his brother’s dream. This is very sad also for Karl’s parents who had the wakening to reality shock when Vlad told them that he wants to change what he is studying because what he is doing is not making him happy, it’s not his dream but it is his parents dream, his brother’s dream. I wonder if the screenwriter will continue to write about Karl’s parents in the next series, if it will be one. Living that life Karl had no chance to discover himself. But he met Vlad and things started to move in a direction which took him by surprise. The script is fantastic and it showed us what was in his heart, what he was thinking, who he felt. Amazing!

Vlad has another kind of trauma: he thinks that he is the reason why his father abandoned their family. He didn’t have his sister support and understanding, and his mother, as much as I could understand, was almost an invisible person in his life and she didn’t (probable didn’t know how to) support him. Although he is a grown up man, fully aware of what he is, living in an open space proud of how he is, nobody can touch his hair: the last one who did it was his father in that very day when he left his family and disappeared. Even he is strong young man who succeed to move further, to find his way in life, he is a sensible person who needs to be loved and express his love freely.
It is said that our childhood influence our lives. This is a very sad example of how the parents can hurt their children unintentional. It is said that if a person is hurting you, this is because this person is in pain. And this is very true.
All the supporting characters completed the picture of Karl and Vlad lifes in a way that made me speechless.

Karl’s uncle, Santi, is a successful person from professional point of view and regarding to his personal life he said it so beautiful: I choose to love! Life without love is an empty one. And he knows that. “Why love is never enough” he said in one moment. Being betrayed by his boyfriend, having his heart full of sorrow, he still managed to smile and to see the positive part of his life. He is a living lesson of what does it means to live the life open, to be proud of what you are, to love with all your heart and to be able to see the positive part of live even when you are hurt.
The dialog between him and Karl is priceless. What he told to Vlad was also so true and so beautiful!
Judit, Vlad’s sister: at the beginning she was annoying me a lot. She was trying too much. She was too much. She is a very good example of what a straight person might do when encounter a gay person: she didn’t know how to act, what to do, what to feel. She was young and she made mistakes which followed her all her life. She lived with this guilt all her life and she became overprotective to compensate this. I felt so sorry for her. She was loving Karl so much and she was trying to do her best all her life. The discussion between her and Vlad cleared up everything and made me understand what was in her heart, how much pain and guilt she was carrying all those years.
Anna – as individual with her own story, I found her truly amazing. She is a beautiful woman, a good mother and a wonderful person. She can be, for Karl and Vlad, an example of how they should treasure their own life, how they should never give up on themselves. And this is one of the most important things in life: to don’t give up of yourself, put yourself on the first place, take care of you as best as you can because when you do that and you will be happy and all the people around you will be happy.
Karl’s parents – I wrote about them before. What a painful life they had! So painful that they don’t even realised what they have done to Karl. Very very sad!

Each episode ended with a representative text which covers, in some words, what happened each of them:
1. We will take back our story. To a happy beginning!
2. Let’s make room for those who’ve lost their sense of home.
3. You have a place here.
4. When solitude teaches you something, embrace it.
5. Make up for lost moments. All fears are invitations to be brave.
6. You are entitled to a love that lets you dance without fear and shame.
The dialog from the end of part 6 melted my heart.
“Karl: Vlad, I want to write films. I want to have a story I can call my own. How about you?
Vlad: Same. But I want to be in charge of the ending, too.
7. You own the rights to your own truth.
8. The real fight is on the outside. We will welcome you when you’re ready.
Till we meet again.

The script is amazing and the how the actors played was unbelievable! I felt the chemistry between all of them all the time and this was truly wonderful. I’m overwhelmed!

MUSIC: I saw a lot of movies but I never search for the songs as did now. The soundtrack is beautiful and I was glad that the lyrics were translated too. Very beautiful songs!

REWATCH: This is the second time when I watch this series. And it had a bigger impact watching it again. I really hope that they will make another series to continue the story because there still al lot to say. It would be wonderful to see them growing up together, accepting and loving each other and being happy together.
