Greece, 1977. A proposed law brings gay men and “transvestites” together in a historic event and sparks the creation of the first Greek LGBTQI+ movement. For the next 13 years, AKOE and its magazine Amfi, would define the way LGBTQI+ Greeks think about themselves. This film celebrates their story and legacy.
