Being a renowned scientist, in England during the forties, was not a guarantee to be saved from the homophobic persecution prevalent in the country during that time and the life of Alan Turing, born in 1912, was a good example of this. As the Founder of Computer Science, he managed, among other feats, to decipher the famous Enigma machine of the Nazi regime, which allowed the Allies to read their communications and probably shorten, by at least two years, their resiliency. In spite of that, a matter related to his homosexuality sentenced him in 1952 to choose between jail and chemical castration. Having chosen the latter, and subjected therefore real physical and mental torture, he ended his days in 1954. But it didn't end there. His name was erased from the collective memory, and from the list of those who had contributed to save the country from Nazi invasion.

This extraordinary dramatized documentary resurrects the figure of this genius, who confided his sufferings during his last year of life to psychiatrist Franz Greenbaum. Through their conversations, which were the basis of a deep friendship, we understand the mental and physical pressure to which Turing was exposed. Whilst we discover the importance of his scientific legacy (his key work on computation led to the emergence of the first computers), whose meaning is yet to be discovered, is the homophobic persecution that was the victim really over? Let's remember, it wasn't until 2013, that he was "pardoned" posthumously by the Queen of England, a clemency denied a year before by her own Minister of Justice.
