In Cameroon, homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment, with mere suspicions often leading to arrests. Beyond police actions, many gay men are murdered, sometimes by their own relatives. LGBTQI+ individuals live in constant fear. But where does this deep-seated homophobia originate? Why is there so much hatred?

This powerful film weaves together emotional stories, along with historical and sociological insights, offering new perspectives and avenues of thought. It provides some answers and serves as a source of inspiration, highlighting the tireless activism of figures such as Lambert Marc Lamba, international lawyer Alice Nkom, and Saskia Ditisheim, president of Lawyers Without Borders.
