HONESTLY

Original Title: Ik Zeg je Eerlijk 

Peter, homosexual and converted to Islam, gives workshops on sexual and religious diversity to pupils in various classes at primary and secondary schools. Without judging and by immersing himself in the language of the pupils, he tries to make sensitive subjects discussable. He does so with the necessary dose of humor and by means of provocative statements. Questions like ‘Do you have control over your crush?’, ‘Does religion determine how you should behave as a boy?’ and ‘What do you need a woman for?’ lead to disarming conversations in the class. But how do the pupils react when Peter tells them about his own life?
