Fairy Garden

On the outskirts of Budapest, in the heart of the woods, hides a ramshackle little hut. Inside, two social outcasts have formed the unlikeliest of bonds: Fanni, a 19 year-old transgender teenager, and Laci, a 60 year-old homeless man. Together, they form a cantankerous, convivial, makeshift family life, supporting each other as father and daughter through hardship and change. Life is tough, but it is theirs. Set on the margins of Hungarian society, this is a film about perseverance, finding home, and the triumph of acceptance.

In Vilnius the film is presented in cooperation with the Office of the Equal Opportunities Ombudsperson after the international conference Trans Forum. The screening is followed by a discussion about home, the importance of community and support in a world that can often be hostile towards trans people.

In Kaunas the film is presented in cooperation with Kaunas’ Artists’ House and Social Centre Emma. The screening is followed by conversations at Emma.
