Screenings
Synopsis
It?s 1982. In a remote mining town in the Chilean desert, 11-year-old Lidia lives with her beloved queer family. When a mysterious and deadly disease begins to spread, rumors take hold: people whisper that it can be transmitted between two men with nothing more than a glance. As the community succumbs to fear and her family is singled out as the culprits, Lidia sets out on a journey to discover whether this legend is just the product of prejudice or if there is some truth behind the myth.
