Radmilo and Mirko form a young gay couple who would be completely happy anywhere else in the world... except in Serbia. They try to live discreetly, but every day they receive abuse from the homophobic majority. This year, Mirko wants to organise a “gay pride parade”, even if it is pretty much a mission impossible: in 2001 an attempt to do so ended in bloodshed. Today the situation has changed little: nationalist and neo-Nazi organisations threaten to perpetrate another massacre if the parade goes ahead. All seems lost until their chance meeting with Lemon, a local gangster, and his fiancée, Pearl. A war veteran, nationalist and homophobic, expert in martial arts and owner of a security company, Lemon may against all odds turn out to be the last hope for the parade to go ahead.
