Victor returns to his childhood home in Bulgaria for his grandfather's funeral and decides to stay for the summer.

In a Bulgarian mountain village, where prejudice brews, a summer romance begins between two boys from different worlds. Victor (27) has a good life in Madrid with his partner, Jose. He returns to his hometown in Bulgaria for his grandfather's funeral and decides to stay there for the summer. While reconnecting with his father and the village way of life, he unexpectedly finds love in the person of Liuben, an 18-year-old Roma boy. Despite their differences, and the conflicts around them, Victor and Liuben find refuge with each other. Liuben is the first openly LGBTQ+ film from Bulgaria.
