Butterflies of Life
1 votes
A film that exposes the reality of young homosexuals who live in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, suffer the effects of poverty and misery, but do not lose their identity, dignity and creativity. They are homosexuals, transformers, butterflies of Brazilian real life.... They experience the possibilities and the limits of gender and sexuality, face discrimination with their heads held high, with courage, and determination... They fight for the right to be different and demand, in many ways, that their difference be respected.
