Hello World (Hei Verden)
„All the kids in my class are straight. It’s Holmestrand, a farmer’s small town. Noone’s gay here” – says Viktor, who together with Runa, Dina and Joachim tells us, how growing up from a perspective of non-heteronormative teenagers looks like. It’s a story of true pioneers, trying to free themselves from experiencing any shame. But building up their inner pride is not easy in a world, in which hate is just one click away. Is anything going to get better in time? How does it feel to be the only openly queer person in the school?
