What challenges do same-sex couples in Romania face if they wish to marry? How severe is the suffering and distress for gay couples in Romania due to the denial of their right to marry and start a family? The film 'Forbidden' shows the complicated love story of a 43-year-old woman and her partner. The intimate and warm images are abruptly interrupted by brutal events and the pressure of humiliating and difficult-to-face circumstances. The documentary 'Forbidden' is a story of love and acceptance, but it is also a confrontation with the state authorities, including taking the state to the European Court of Human Rights.
