The documentary film "Travelers" is an emotionally extremely powerful story of repression and rebellion, the art and the love that breaks through the limits of socially acceptable, survives despite destructive social norms and relations. Love, that is, as our main protagonists say, ready for sacrifice. And a common artistic project that mirrors themselves, incarnates their life energy.
