Barbara leads a stable life, is fulfilled professionally and has a loving family. Her foster daughter Alicja, who learns that she is adopted, decides to find her biological mother.

They are in love. They are together. They are building their happiness. Not in ‘another way’. In the same way. Polish gays and lesbians living in permanent relationships do not confirm the stereotype of life filled with hundreds of sexual partners. Faithfulness and normality are the most important for them although the reality they live in does not make their every day existence easier. Homo.pl is a warm portrait without pity or a patronizing approach. ‘They’ are some of ‘us’.

It turns out that the seemingly naive Father Zieja is actually a clever rebel.
