Great concept but still nothing special

This film aims to showing the discrimination against homosexual people. The writers show a reflection of the current world were straight people are the minority and are considered to be perverts. A bit of exaggeration in the way that straight people were treaded in this fictional world, something that does not reflect in the real one where gay people have a lot more rights. Great idea and generally a good movie but with some scenes of poor acting from "Sofia" and "Yiannis". It is though a nice film and it is worthy for anyone to watch it just to watch the writers' perspective supported by the great roles of "Petros" and "Stefanos". Enjoy.
