Daniel´s World

Veronika Lišková / Czech Republic / 2014 / World Premiere / 75 min.


synopsis

Twenty-five year old literary academy student Daniel is dealing with his non-traditional sexual orientation, the perception of which in society is colored by a number of prejudices. He introduces his family, friends, and society to his lot as a homosexual pedophile – and through his creative writing, himself as well. This documentary empathetically captures public and private moments of his confessions. Daniel’s deep self-reflection and emphasis on other than purely sexual values enabled the creators to present the situation of a pedophile completely and humanely. His charm, self-deprecating view, and sense of exaggeration give the film a surprising lightness and wit.

DETAIL:
“Let’s watch some boys.” “OK, one pedo-anthem, then.”
