Synopsis:

Born in San Francisco and now spread across the world, for 30 years now, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have used their special brand of irreverent humor and street theater to back the men and women who are struggling against discrimination, especially homophobia and HIV AIDS.
To celebrate their 30th anniversary, the Sisters of the Paris Paname Convent wanted to promote better public understanding of who the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are as personalities, their actions in HIV AIDS prevention and how their organization works. That is why they asked a film team to follow individual Sisters as they listen to, entertain and inform the public, painting portraits of some and enabling others to explain the outlook and history of the world-wide order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Summary

The Sisters are joyous, high in color, made up and on the spot in the struggle not just against homophobia and AIDS but also for the right of homosexuals to exist socially, to ensure HIV AIDS prevention and bring help and comfort to the sick. The film answers these questions: Who are the Sisters? What do they do? What are their actions and objectives? How do you become a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. Who is their chosen audience?
Even if the Sisters are playing a role, literally actors in the guerilla theater of the struggle against discrimination, they are no less responsible, committed and often remarkable, individuals. Their comments and observations, simple and direct, enable them to address the broadest public.(more)
