Cloro

As a child Constantino was taught that being gay was shameful, so he played the straight man: a career in law, marriage to his high-school sweetheart Débora, two children. When a family disaster cracks that careful arrangement he starts seeing men in secret and loses his heart to Emílio, whom he meets in Brasília, a man in the foreign service. Now dead, he looks back from a kind of limbo, his account answered by those of relatives and friends.
