Can a politician, a mayor lead a fair policy towards everyone in the society he represents? The mayor of a town decides to stand up to conservative political parties and publicly come out of the closet.

I liked the narrative hook. It brought a new and strategic perspective of approaching the agenda, focusing the LBGTBQIAP+ person on society in a position of power and focusing on patriarchy/patrimonialism, a structuring national institution, as a limiting vector of the State and Brazilian society. In the live, the mayor could have turned to the LGBTQIAP+ movement for support. And the ending was left with a taste of want more and also an unresolved nebulous situation not clarified about the mayor. A film with a new perspective, bringing the gay person to the center of power and emerging the conservatism of Brazilian patriarchy as a limiter of the State. And all this with 4 actors/actress on the scene and I believe with low resources. Congratulations!
