When Chueca Dies: A Story of Resistance

In the heart of Madrid, 'When Chueca Dies' narrates the colorful story of a neighborhood where freedom and diversity clash with political division. Drag queens, lesbian couples, and refugees unite to preserve their sanctuary amid a rising tide of intolerance. Through its portrayal of the international LGBT community in Chueca, a haven since the '90s, the film reveals the struggles against changing political climates and hateful rhetoric. Central to the narrative is Radio Chueca Libertaria, from the iconic Berkana Bookstore, discussing the neighborhood's decline and the fragile state of the global LGBT movement. Engaging scenes feature characters embodying their adversaries, including a politician proposing a new peaceful world order—free of heterosexuals.
