00:11In 2021, there is a movie called Firebird.
00:14This is a film that is inspired by the memoirs of Sergei Fetisov.
00:17The story takes place in the 1970s, in the heart of the Soviet Union.
00:22Sergei is a young soldier who is assigned to an airbase.
00:25But his life changes when he meets Roman, who is a charismatic fighter pilot.
00:30A relationship developed between these two men, but it had to remain secret.
00:34At that time, homosexuality was severely repressed in the Soviet Union.
00:39Being discovered can mean the end of a career.
00:42This could lead to an arrest.
00:44or worse, being imprisoned, or I'll let you imagine what comes next.
00:47What makes Firebird so special is that this film does not seek to shock.
00:53It simply tells a love story.
00:55But in a context where loving the wrong person can become a crime.
00:59Upon its release, this film received a very positive reception at several international festivals.
01:05But like many LGBTQIA+ works,
01:07Its distribution remains complicated in some countries where it is banned, banned, and banned.
