Synopsis
Pedro Lemebel is a writer, artist, and the pioneer for the queer movement in Latin America, especially in Chile. The 1980’s movement created a jolt to conservative citizens in the Pinochet regime–who is known as a dictator. During the eight year process of film-making, Lemebel worked on the body character, blood and fire, yet in the end, he couldn’t see the final result.
