Synopsis
It was winter. My uncle's naked body was found lying on the floor. A crowd gathered at the corner of his house. The police dispersed the outlookers. My relatives asked me to go inside and choose the clothes in which he would be buried. I opened his wardrobe: it was empty. When I asked them what he died of, they told me: "Of sadness". This is the search for traces of his life and the discovery that he had been included in one of the 108 homosexual lists, arrested and tortured, in Paraguay under Stroessner's dictatorship. Rodolfo's story reveals a part of the hidden and silenced history of my country. A film where two generations come face to face: the generation that lived under the dictatorship, and the generation living in democracy. Still today when you call someone "108", it means "faggot". In the family and country the same photographs have been hidden. A personal quest made up of few certainties and many questions often without an answer. A film that is ultimately about each one of us.
