AnimalXs

This animated documentary series approaches taboos around sexuality in adolescence, as told by young people. It recounts the joys and conflicts that a diverse group of characters have experienced in the search for their sexual identity. Experiences around decisions taken- or not — regarding their own body, their life, and health, hygiene, sexual reproduction, family relationships. Their thoughts, passions, and feelings towards those people who have helped or hindered in the search for identity and aspirations, are aired. It is about their dreams and how they see themselves, being part of a society that accepts them and allows them to fully develop. From this perspective, the joy of sexuality away from prejudice, discrimination, and violence is particularly important. In each chapter a protagonist identifies with an animal -or more — to represent its qualities, characteristics, fears, and abilities. The ‘animal totem’ has a unique voice and expression of identity that will help them to empower themselves and discover aspects of their personality and the society in which they live. Promoting and recognising that we have the right to pleasure, if it is exercised in a responsible and healthy manner.
