Synopsis
Simon is a make-up artist by day, but lives for the night, when he transforms into a sensational drag artist in Montreal’s vibrant queer scene. He becomes involved with handsome Frenchman Olivier, and they develop a new act together, just as Simon’s mother – a celebrated opera singer – swans into town with a new show. As both mother and lover vie for Simon’s attention, director Dupuis takes us on an emotionally and sensually charged ride into a hedonistic underworld of volatile egos and larger-than-life personalities.
