El cónsul de Sodoma é uma fascinante viagem através da vida de Jaime Gil de Biedma (1929-1990), um dos poetas mais influentes da segunda metade do século XX. Sua vida é a história de uma contradição: por um lado, pertence à nobreza e é executivo de uma multinacional, por outro lado, vive seu papel como poeta e homossexual que se rebela contra o seu ambiente familiar e sua história. Sexo, amor, literatura e luta política são as constantes de uma vida que atravessa uma época de rebeldia, violência e descobrimento. É também um retrato da Barcelona dos anos 60, onde desfilam personagens emblemáticos da cultura e da sociedade catalã progressista, conhecida como a “Gauche Divine”.
