To
be a homosexual in a Catholic-dominated country is a struggle. To be a
handicap in a society soaked in vanity is a burden. Imagine someone who
is a combination of both. Indeed, life works in mysterious – not
to mention, mischievous – ways. In a serendipitous moment, Swollen
Tonsils Productions stumbled on a community who acquires a certain power
of their own through their uniquely created vivid language, the Gay Sign
Language. This benchmarking documentary features the lives of three members
of the Deaf Gay Community as they try to prove that language is not only
a mere tool of communication, but is also an icon of a strongly-bonded
group.
