Wikipedia article'Les Invisibles' is a French documentary film written and directed by Sbastien Lifshitz and released in 2012. SynopsisMen and women who, born during the interwar period, have nothing in common apart from being homosexuals and have chosen to live in bread daylight in an era when society rejected homosexuality. They loved, desired, and fought to be recognized. Today, they recount this rebellious life, divided between the will to fit in with everyone else and the obligation to invent a freedom to flourish.
