Synopsis
Documentary on the gay condition in black Africa where homosexuality is condemned both by religious rules and the penal code. Yet this practice is far from non-existent. People who choose a sexual orientation different from those accepted by law and customs are forced to live in hiding for fear of homophobia which is widespread but also of discrimination linked to traditional constraints.
