Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

Kisses are part of pop culture. But if you notice 99% of history’s most famous kisses tell pretty much the same story: hetero cis couples. And if life imitates art, no wonder in many countries LGBTQ+ people are not only not embraced as part of society, but are a target of violence, and even murder. Mercado Libre - the biggest e-commerce in latin america and official sponsor of São Paulo Pride Parade - decided to use its continental reach to help normalize all kinds of love. And to do so, it recreated iconic hetero cis kisses using real life couples from the LGBTQ+ community.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

We all had the concern to choose iconic and universal scenes to be understood wherever it seeing.

Tell the jury about the casting process.

The hole idea was inspired on having real people playing those iconic moments.
