Eduard was terrified of the moment he would have to confess to his parents that he is gay, so he keeps postponing it. He comes from a practicing Orthodox Christian family that emigrated to Belgium. His only support is his aunt, who lives in the building across the street and shares a warm, friendly relationship with him. The aunt, a single, divorced, and much more liberated woman, helps Eduard overcome his insecurities, understands him, and supports him in regaining confidence and realizing who he truly is.
