Synopsis When Chueca Dies
Chueca is the internationally known neighborhood in the center of Madrid that has
been an oasis of freedom for the LGBT community since the 1990s.
But for a few years now, due to the changing political climate of hate speech by
politicians, the neighborhood has been under a magnifying glass by opponents.
The film portrays an illustrious group of people from the neighborhood, from
trans people to drag queens, from young, wed lesbians to refugees.
At its center is Radio Chueca Libertaria’s radio broadcast from the legendary
Berkana Bookstore, about the downfall of the neighborhood and the faltering state
of the LGBT movement worldwide. In series of scenes, all the characters regularly
step out of their own lives into the roles of their opponents and enemies.
A politician proclaims a new, peaceful world order without heterosexuals.
