El color de mi verdad es una poderosa memoria de supervivencia, fe y de volver a sentirse completo después de una vida marcada por el silencio. Quaelon Brown creció navegando entre el amor y la pérdida, la protección y la traición, la pertenencia y el aislamiento.

Buenos Aires, años 80. Una ciudad que salía de la dictadura mientras aprendía, lentamente, a mirarse al espejo.
