A documentary thesis that portrays the emerging identities and lifestyles of members of the LGBT community of Argentina. Comparing and contrasting the situations of those living in the capital, Buenos Aires, and those living in a much smaller city, Mendoza, shows how Argentina is growing and changing and the problems that still exist. Characters from both cities share their most personal life experiences on camera and express their true feelings about their lives and what they want to see change for LGBT groups everywhere.
