The Invisible Men tells the untold story of persecuted gay Palestinian who have run away from their families and are now hiding illegally in Tel Aviv. Their stories are told through the film’s heroes: Louie, 32 years old, a gay Palestinian who has been hiding in Tel Aviv for the past 8 years; Abdu, 24 years old, who was exposed as gay in Ramallah and then accused of espionage and tortured by Palestinian security forces; Faris, 23 years old, who escaped to Tel Aviv from the West Bank after his family tried to kill him. Their only chance for survival - to seek asylum outside Israel and Palestine and leave their homelands forever behind. (Madrid International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival)

English In this film, we meet the gay community in Tel Aviv. The documentary is about their survival options - not about life in the future - but about real survival. Some are lucky enough to seek asylum and adapt in a foreign environment, but they break within themselves all need for their native environment. Some are still waiting to see if they can even get there without any conditions. ()
