A MALE

Carlos lives in a shelter, downtown Bogotá and longs to spend Christmas with his family. The circumstances around him force him to assume the macho stereotype, in contradiction with his own self. In intimacy, Carlos recognizes his sensitivity, his fragility and approaches himself to other forms of masculinity. At the age of 16, Carlos explores his sexual identity, discovers his fears, his desires and everything that "real men" hide.
