    • Synopsis
    • The director submerges herself into the ties between the men in her family and wonders about the inheritance of this male lineage: what were their desires, their silences and their mandates? This leads her to wonder what happens outside her family. She interviews different men and meets Bicho, Andrés and Emmanuel, diverse men who will question whether there is a way of being a man and seek their own personal path, far from what they were told they should be.
      Lucía's brother and father, Andrés, Emmanuel and Bicho are going to question their masculinity, their love relationships and also the practices they have with other men. What does it mean to be a man for them? Does it matter?
      With very different histories and backgrounds, there may be more common ground than they can imagine.
