They did not want to go back into the closet, to pretend that old age was taking away so much of their struggle. They had a dream: to live in the first public LGTBI residence in the world.

    • Synopsis
    • A CLOSET-FREE HOME takes us into the almost impossible dream of creating the first public residence for LGBTI seniors in the world in Madrid. Through the testimonies of seven of its future residents, we will learn about the reality of this collective as they enter old age, their rejection, and their fear of going backward in who they are, and what they have achieved, as people and as a community. We will witness the extraordinary adventure of this generation that went from prisons, concealment, and shame to turn Spain and Madrid into world referents of equality and respect. A dramatic comedy with solid characters, shocking, sometimes quirky, and sometimes revolutionary, but always fascinating; whose stories will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on life, dignity and coherence while the project of a residence for LGTBI seniors in Villaverde takes shape.
