But his mom got depressed when she found the love letters he had written to his partner Jorge. And Gustavo moved away from his people. Daniel longs for being a dad. But on account of his homosexuality, he cannot picture himself as one yet, so he is concerned about his continuity. Dan is an artist.

Diego is an architect. And he is also trying to build some space for gay people within the Jewish community.
