It focuses on the struggle of the LGBTQ+ community in Nicaragua, who found themselves navigating the complexities of a machista Roman Catholic culture. The film's tone is raw and real, capturing both the hope and the challenges faced by these individuals. The pacing allows for reflection on their stories, giving space for personal narratives amidst historical context.
