Through the Department for the Life Cycle, Feminism and LGBTI, Barcelona City Council commissioned five directors, both emerging and well-known, to produce short films on the theme of affective diversity. This initiative, which produced both fictional and documentary films, was aimed, not only at palliating the scarcity of audio-visual material available to primary and secondary schools, but also at general distribution, contributing to building a better social understanding of what it means to be gay, lesbian or transgender or to live in same-sex parental families.

From Isabel Coixet and Isaki Lacuesta, who both take a transversal approach to the theme, to Judith Colell (transsexuality amongst young people), Carla Subirana (female same-sex parents) and Miguel Bosch (male homosexuality), all these shorts share a single goal: to improve living conditions amongst the LGBT community and, particularly, to increase understanding and foster discussion of these concepts at early stages in life.
