Coming Into Bloom
Synopsis
A young bisexual woman in Copacabana searches for her place in the fight for lesbian civil rights. In conversation with Yone Lindgren, a long time activist and elder in the lesbian community, she learns about the trajectory of many of her queer elders who are coerced back in the closet, where they become invisible to society, while younger queers in the movement search for guidance. This film affirms the necessity of fostering intergenerational relationships in order to ensure resistance and thriving. This compassionate portrait urges us to ‘Wake up! Shake off the blues’ and get involved in mutual care.
