After decades of lies, resentments and stolen identities, a Muslim mother confronts her drag queen son for her long overdue moment in the spotlight. Shot on 35mm, this is a film about breaking the curse of intergenerational trauma, interrogating the “tensions” between drag femininity and womanhood, drag and Arab femininity, maternal revenge and the cyclical nature of trauma. It asks whether intergenerational curses can ever be lifted, or must someone always be sacrificed?
