Synopsis
n this documentary we give voice to the Guinean LGTBI activists Angel and Gonzalo, who give testimony of the persecution suffered by women and LGTBI people in their country and the difficulty of “coming out of the wardrobe” as it is a taboo within the families.
A violation of human rights by the country’s current regime, with police abuse, torture, discrimination, sexual violence, forced pregnancies, child sexual exploitation of minors, a high mortality rate of transsexual people due to causes that the state cannot solve, family and social repudiation, or the terrible text of a draft bill in progress, aimed at overthrowing the legal personality of homosexual people.

FICNOVA recognises in the film the effort to shed light on how societies live trapped by our culturally ingrained epochal beliefs, and how these are precipitated as new generations and individuals are able to rebel against them.
