Description: Inspired by a throwaway comment from his college professor, Paolo Lee decided to study abroad in Rome. While trying to find out where exactly he fits in the queer tapestry, he endured some highs - finding the perfect roommate and new friend - and lows - encountering homophobia on the streets of Rome and in his classes. Through it all, though, he came closer to finding his identity and learned to become the representation he had been seeking all along.
