Overview
A documentary that uncovers a forgotten chapter of recent Spanish history, giving voice to those persecuted for their LGTBIQ+ identities under the Franco regime. Through personal testimonies, it reveals how individuals were criminalized, labeled as “deviant” or “ill,” and subjected to imprisonment, psychiatric internment, and exile. Filmed across cities like Seville, Málaga, Huelva, Torremolinos, Madrid, and Barcelona—including the notorious Modelo prison—the film traces the resilience and courage of those who resisted repression, highlighting the struggle for visibility, dignity, and the right to love freely.
