This documentary explores the challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ youth in French Guiana, focusing on the experiences of Matilda Pierre. A 26-year-old actress, Pierre shares her journey of publicly embracing her attraction to men, women, and transgender people despite living in a society where homosexuality is often taboo. The film examines the social pressures, threats, and judgments associated with this openness. Through her perspective and the stories of others, such as Marcus, a bisexual Amerindian who fears family rejection, the film illustrates the struggle between personal identity and a culture of silence and fear.
