PROUD

Filip is a young, irresponsible and brazen gay man, convinced the world is his oyster. When a family tragedy strikes, his self-focus turns into a lingering feeling of guilt. As he takes care of his infant niece, Filip wants to remain free, yet he rebels at the thought of giving his niece over to strangers due to his own childhood trauma. To care for her, he must face his weaknesses, failures, and societal prejudice.

Our take

A deeply moving portrait of a young man at his breaking point, forced to take control of his life, Proud is a tender, honest, and electrifying reflection on love and friendship. Faced with a new reality and newfound responsibilities, the protagonist leads us through a journey of self-discovery and intimacy, offering a powerful meditation on the true meaning of family. An essential series that tackles both the casual homophobia of or modern world and the protagonist’s defensive self-absorption, used as an escape from a brutal reality and his own flaws.
