Through the spoken stories and testimonies of 4 LGBTQ+ people over 40 years old about their lives, their joys, their hopes, their struggles, and their advice, this documentary aims to contribute to an archive, to the construction of a queer history. But also to the bridging of the communication gap between generations, showing young queer people that it is possible to have a long and happy life. What are the differences and similarities between their lived experience and the one of younger LGBTQ+ people? What can we learn from them and what should we aim to overcome? What links unify this 'community' and what debates split through it? But more than anything: what does it mean to grow old whilst being gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary...? What does that look like? What does the future, which is sometimes so complicated to imagine, have on hold for us?
