Data collected by the Netherland emergency number, 113 Suicide Prevention, show that nearly half the members of the Dutch LGBTQI+ community have had suicidal thoughts during their lives. This is an alarming number, significantly higher than that of the heterosexual population. Through the words of the three protagonists, Tim Dekkers tries to cancel the taboo on suicide, highlighting the terrible consequences that growing up in a homotransphobic society can have.
