I Love Hooligans

Jan-Dirk Bouw
Screening time  
25.02. / Tuesday, 18:00 - 20:00 Theatre 4  
In "I Love Hooligans" we enter the world of a homosexual hooligan who feels unconditional love for his club.

However, being gay, this hooligan has to hide his identity in order to survive in this world that is so precious to him. Football is what he lives for, and his sexual orientation and love life have been relegated to the margin. It is a well-kept secret.
