After decades of lies, resentments and stolen identities, a Muslim mother confronts her drag queen son for her long overdue moment in the spotlight.
Mother's husband and Son's father has just died. Mother is losing everything; her house, her glamour, her visibility. Son is profiting from grief; a drag queen who wins the applause his mother has never received. Whilst he has the spotlight, she is erased. He exaggerates stories of his mother, bartering in Islamophobic tropes to win white peoples’ sympathy. Her life is being re-written by her son – and he does it dressed as her.
Like Medea before her, Mother decides to claim what is hers – her voice, her identity, her story, her trauma. She confronts her son backstage for a show. A tragic Greek confrontation ensues, where intergenerational curses are finally broken, and Mother claims what she feels is rightfully hers.
Her womanhood, her spotlight, her moment.

Bulgarian-born American-raised rapper Dali From The Valley, or Dimitar Ognyanov, dies, and when at the gates of the afterlife, he meets The Gatekeeper, and together they must decide if he belongs Above or Below. This follows a recollection of Dali’s life: through his American upbringing, his Bulgarian heritage, his complicated relationship with his sister, the loss he feels having never met his mother; his reunion with his estranged father, as well a depiction of the seemingly meaningless life of excess he’s led, his entourage, the endless troubles with various partners, and a long, long trip down a memory lane of all the mistakes Dali’s made and all the pain he’s caused.
The film explores themes of cultural belonging, the weight of memories, nature vs. nurture, the pain of staying at the top, love, finality, and whether our choices define us.

On the surface, this is a simple story of Scott, a young guy who committed a series of murders in Dante’s bar. Amongst the bodies he discovered a business card for a specialist cleaning company and in his panic decided to call the number. He struck a deal with the voice at the other end of the phone: Scott can live a worry-free life for one year (the murders will be blamed on somebody else) but at the end of that year (and at exactly the same time that the murders originally occurred), this mysterious benefactor will come calling to collect his prize. Scott, believing that he had no other choice, agreed to this Faustian pact.
True to their word, one year later, Scott meets the somewhat odious Nikolas Apollyon back in Dante’s. During the conversation that follows, however, it dawns on Scott that he’s been tricked...
