A look at the LGBT history of Valencia (Spain) from the 1970s to the early 2000s, a crucial era where a explosion of desire for freedom and the exploration of sexuality marked the beginning of the egalitarian struggle for queer rights. The film showcases testimonies that marked a before and after in the Valencian struggle, and unites activists, historical figures, drag queens, businesspeople and historians to shape a unique yet still unknown history, as well as countless of unpublished archival footage that will get us into a city that proved to be open and plural — The first demonstrations, homophobic assaults, the Brigada 26, the origins of Moviment d'Alliberament Gai del Pais Valencià and Lambda, nightlife venues and cabarets, the trans struggle, the HIV/AIDS outbreak, the first gay bookstore in the city, the first regional lesbian collective; these are some of the topics that tell a universal struggle: to be able to be free and love whoever you want without fear.
Reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The acting in this movie is really good.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
