    • Synopsis
    • While exposing his own problems, Henri gives an insight into further struggles that the LGBTQIA+ community goes through on a daily basis. Human rights in terms of love, identity, professional development and religious beliefs come to light and are questioned. Coming to terms with who you are is one thing, integrating with the wider community is another. Henri opens up his heart and shows us the true meaning of self-discovery, what it took to tell the people who know him best about who he truly is. It remains dangerous to reveal yourself in a world that is set in its ways. While this may come as an alien topic to many people, it is a raw reality that a big part of society lives through - or in many cases doesn’t get the privilege to do.
