Synopsis
Seville, 1977. Reme is proud that her son Miguel is about to become the first person in the family to attend university. But what Miguel really wants is to be an artist and sing in a popular television contest. At a time when homosexuality is a crime in Spain, Reme will also discover who her son’s new friends are: the emerging Andalusian LGTBI movement, which paradoxically took shape within the Church.
