BLESSED CURE

Since he was a child, Acacio do Nascimento was different from other boys.

Scared of his possible homosexuality, his parents Mara and Galdino submit Acacio to several treatments from the age of five years old to make him 'normal'.

Blessed Cure narrates Acacio's life through the decades since the 60's from childhood provocations, his parents ignorance, the first time he falls in love with a man, the Brazilian military action against LGBTQ+ people, workplace prejudice and his constant struggle with whether to live his truth or live the life society wants him to.
