Story

Crying of Angels is the first documentary film about the gay community in the history of Slovak cinema. The collage of stories from the lives of the protagonists does not attempt to objectively portray this minority in post-communist society, but is an author's testimony about the existence of a people in conflict with social norms and with themselves.
