It is a long Documentary film with a duration of 78 minutes, It presents some facts about LGBTQ community by interviewing some Syrians, listening to their stories, knowing when they first started to feel differently towards people of the same sex, in addition to the reasons that they think made them part of LGBTQ community, who do they blame in case of remorse, or what is the main reason in case they accept who they are, whether he or she was homosexual or transgender, we also asked them about their perspective towards Religion and Community, and what do they seek from both of them.. most of the answers were shocking.
