What has the Balkan War meant for gay people? What kind of life did gay men have, anyway, in the cities of former Yugoslavia? Boris Davidovich, a university teacher in Belgrade, kept for last seven years a diary of his daily thoughts and activities. Cruising the streets and toilets, he picks up young men, often soldiers, and explores with them a world of male love quite remote from the Western gay scene. As his country descends into nationalism and chaos, Boris reflects from his own experience on some fundamental features of the male condition: patriarchy and comradeship, masculinity and violence, Eros and Thanatos.
