A year ago, Costa Rica became the first Central American country and the sixth in all of Latin America to recognize the legal right to same-sex marriage, a historic step in the recognition of universal human rights. Based on three true stories, our animated music video ES AMOR, celebrates this important milestone and sings to the world that love is always love.
Carlos, a married man with two daughters, dares to reveal his true sexual identity to his family; Ale, a trans woman manages to finally reconcile with the image in the mirror and accept herself; and Jaz and Lalay, two young lovers, must confront their family and society in order to get married.
The three stories are intertwined with historical events to recognize the struggle of thousands of people and organizations in Costa Rica. The project involved more than 30 people including musicians, visual artists and digital animators, and seeks to promote respect, love and solidarity among all people.
