Shipwreck
A fictional adaptation by Carlos Motta of "Misadventures of a Sodomite Exiled in 17th Century Bahia," a text by Brazilian anthropologist, historian and gay rights activist Luiz Mott that documents the unfortunate story of a Portuguese man called Luiz Delgado, whose life was defined by innumerable confrontations with the inquisitorial system. Delgado was a known sodomite who persistently defied the social and religious values of the epoch through engaging in romantic and sexual homoerotic relationships. He was first exiled to Brazil where he continued to disobey the strict social values and norms of colonial societies and later sent back to Lisbon where he was tried and ultimately condemned to permanent exile in Angola, after being tortured and publicly humiliated.
