Blessed Cure Mario Cesar

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 Acacios life through the decades since the 60s 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.
