Famílias (2019)

In São Paulo, a number of exceptionally untraditional families have begun to articulate themselves in favor of LGBTI rights. With surnames like D'Matthah, Vallentyne Lawinny, Mad Queen, Lobos and Stronger, they are, in fact, groups comprised of LGBTI young and adolescent originated from low-income neighbourhoods and united in the desire to conquer the public space without fear of feeling discriminated. The origins of each family are varied. Emerging in the mid-2000s, their members have congregated into hundreds: mostly youngsters between the age of 16 and 20 who share the roles of the father, mother, son and daughter. The doc series Families intends to depict and understand the profiles of these groups of youngsters and adolescents. Five groups will be interviewed and each group will be the focus of a 26 minute episode.
