In Lima, Peru, everything could have been so easy for Joaquín. His family is well off, his studies have never given him any headaches, he travels abroad, and his girlfriends think he is a classy guy. But sometimes having it all is not enough.  Don’t Tell Anyone (No Se Lo Digas A Nadie) is a ground- breaking, honest and hard-hitting tale of the troubles that accompany a Peruvian man’s search for sexual identity in a country intolerant of open homosexuality. All his life, Joaquin knew he preferred men. But he dared not tell anyone, not his father, Luis Felipe, a racist and unobliging male chauvinist patriarch who tries to beat the secrets of masculinity into him, nor his mother, Maricucha, whose pious Catholicism deepens his sense of guilt. But soon Joaquín begins a passionate and tangled affair with Gonzálo that puts him face to face with his homosexuality, as well as with the extraordinary and complicated forces in Peru that work to keep him deep inside the closet; privilege has its costs.
Based on the controversial autobiographical novel by Peruvian writer and television commentator, Jaime Bayly, Don’t Tell Anyone paints a powerful and unique portrait of the dichotomous world of homosexuality that exists in Peru and many parts of Latin America.
