El escritor irlandés Oscar Wilde fue un genio, un hombre que tuvo la osadía de enfrentarse a los tabúes, a la hipocresía y a la estupidez de la sociedad británica y, precisamente por ello, acabó siendo procesado y encarcelado. La suya fue una vida llena de escándalos y de éxitos en una época en la que ser diferente se consideraba un delito.
