Tremors

at Pjazza Teatru Rjal at 9pm

Guatemalan writer-director Jayro Bustamante presents this convincing depiction of what it means to be a gay man in the highly religious Guatemalan society.

Pablo is a 40-year-old married father of two children. A role model and a practising Evangelical Christian, his perfect traditional life begins to crack when he falls in love with a man. Pablo finds his feelings in conflict with his beliefs. And his life becomes a hell of repressive intolerance when his family and his church decide to do whatever it takes to ‘cure him’, forcing Pablo to suppress his urges through therapy.

This screening was made possible with the help of Malta LGBTIQ Rights Movement.
