In the face of silence, we scream their names.

In Tunisia, a silent HIV epidemic spreads within the country’s repressed queer community, hidden beneath layers of societal stigma and discrimination. The film tells the stories of two individuals who navigate the harsh realities of living in a country where their identities are illegal, and healthcare is inaccessible due to fear and shame. As the virus spreads, so does the isolation, forcing the community to confront not only the epidemic but the deep-rooted prejudice and neglect that fuels it.
