Created by the members of a Nairobi-based arts collective — who have removed their names from the film for fear of reprisal — this anthology film that dramatizes true-life stories from Kenya’s oppressed LGBTQ community is both a labour of love and a bold act of militancy.

Across the city of Cape Town, a sex-line operator, a dog handler and a computer technician begin to suspect that their romantic relationships are the subject of a bizarre conspiracy, involving their family, friends, and possibly even greater forces. 'Love the One You Love's parallel stories question the ideals we hold too sacred: love, happiness, and the New South Africa; the pursuit of which makes truth impossible.

Dans une Afrique du Sud encore hantée par l'apartheid, deux policiers, un noir, un blanc, pourchassent le meurtrier sauvage d'une jeune adolescente. Des Townships de Capetown aux luxueuses villas du bord de mer, cette enquête va bouleverser la vie des deux hommes et les contraindre à affronter leurs démons intérieurs.
