    • Synopsis
    • This documentary makes for the first time the invisible visible, illustrating the still undocumented daily life of gay men and women during the Mussolini years (1922 – 1943). It narrates the complexity and variety of experiences of LGBT Italians during those years - so far remained confined to niche history books - and their strategies for survival, and their pursuit of happiness.
      Through letters, diaries and personal accounts it gives voice to individuals who could only communicate in clandestinity, using code words, meeting in secrecy and living totally underground lives. It narrates the “joie de vivre” of those who managed to live the way they had chosen, despite the persecution they suffered. Their intimate words contrast with the popular songs and the propaganda images of the time, obsessed with the myth of virility, femininity and motherhood, pervaded by sexual repression.
