Produktbeschreibung
Banished from his home on the border in Agua Prieta, Sonora, by his homophobic father, Carlos embarks on a journey to find Jesse, the love of his life. At a time when homosexuality was against the law and classified as a mental disorder, he seeks through achievement the applause denied by society and the tenderness he disavows for himself.
But what happens when Carlos discovers lowering his tone and standing with legs wide apart does not protect him from homophobic rants, sexual advances of women, and men who deny their own sexuality? Camaleón is a tour de force tale of the early gender fluidity of the 60s. The colorful characters, drag queens, and trans people come from a broad spectrum of gender identities and teach the hero that the only gender rule is that there are no rules, compelling him to leave everything behind and embrace his own identity.
