Colors of Tobi

“I have special access to this story because I know the area where the family is coming from really well because half of my own family is living there. I have a strong connection with my characters. The four years we spent together were very intense and eye-opening in many ways. In this story of Tobi and Éva, the main focus is not the physical change, but the changes in the family’s life. This is an extreme coming-of-age story, the main thing is to see the emotional dynamics between Tobias and his mother, Éva, and to see how they confront their boundaries. I would like to use this film to show the human side of a family and to show how hard it is to be part of the LGBTQ community even if the family is supportive. I want the viewer to feel after watching: ‘I want to go home and do something for own my family’.”
