Théodore Pellerin delivers a career-defining turn in Sophie Dupuis’ film as a Montréal drag star whose world unravels when he falls for Olivier, played with electrifying intensity by Félix Mariteau (120 BPM).
Their fierce romance spirals into danger, threatening Simon’s (Pellerin) rising career. When his estranged opera-diva mother reappears, he must confront long-held illusions and heartbreak, ultimately realising he deserves far more than the love and pain he’s known.
