Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The meetings between Renato Turnes and nine gay gentlemen who share their memories with him. The first desires, the awakening of sexuality, the boiling of gay youth in a country under the military dictatorship, the devastation of the AIDS epidemic, the confrontation of losses and stigma, the party as a territory of resistance. Reflections on the passage of time and the aging of gay men in Brazil

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
